Zion 2

A lot of processing work appears to have gone into this image. Now, that's not the kind of thing that necessarily bothers me, and in fact the choice of colours produces an appealing 'nostalgic postcard' tone. In addition no amount of processing would save (or can obscure) the fact that the base image was technically well-executed. The composition, combining foreground interest with the truly monumental, and beatifully-lit, mountains has a lot of impact.

Do I have any problems with this image? Well, yes, a few. The left-hand side is a touch dark for my taste, and I'd like to see it a little sharper overall. My biggest problem, though, is with the 'flock of birds' insert on the right-hand side of the image. It doesn't look real, and in my view detracts from rather than enhances an image that's more than strong enough to stand on its own.

Overall, an interesting shot of a much-photographed location that fits well with your other excellent photos of the region.
