Thanks for the comments Roman. Now that you point it out, I see the shot with the cactus in the foreground, light and canyon in the BG. I need to be able to see those when I am there rather than after the fact.

It would be great if you are ever around here for us to go out there together. This is a really rugged, remote,beautiful area on the Indian reservation that has a lot of potential. On this trip I spent the better part of the afternoon taking shots down by the creek at the bottom.

Thanks again for the thoughts on composition - lots to think about and ... do.
