These are wonderful pictures, Garren; the horse and rider in 2 really adds a unique dimension to an already beautiful, stunning really, picture - bet you didn't plan for that one but certainly took advantage... 3 is like a postcard, great composition and color, especially the tree, it's shadow and the hues in the rocks. All of them have perfect sky. The pano would look great blown up spreading across an entire wall.....

These are all beautiful, but I really love the second one with the horse and rider. Love it!

They each have something special, very well done.
I like the one with the tree and the pano the most. I'd normally like the format of #1 more, but there is a big empty gap between the bush and the rock that makes me think it's really 2 photos. The one with the cowboy is very poetic but lacks contrast a bit.

A nice series Garren.. I too like the cowboy shot but would have preferred a clean background for him. How about cropping some of the bottom on it.. midway between the dead tree and the base of the outcrop?

I was there last December. Looks like you had much warmer weather. I like #2 and the western theme it portrays.

Cheers,

3 and 4 are great, the tree in 3 really makes the shot, and the pano is lovely.
