New Mexico has the most amazing skies, nice.
 03/17/2009 01:35:32 PM
Good sense of design/color.
 03/17/2009 08:50:16 AM
Lovely image, impressive clouds.
 03/17/2009 07:24:33 AM
Nice colours in this shot.
 03/17/2009 06:03:26 AM
beautiful vista
 03/16/2009 05:26:27 PM
Beautiful shot.
 03/16/2009 05:12:56 PM
I know exactly where I will be visiting for photos when I come to Albuquerque later this week!
 03/16/2009 04:40:06 PM
The clouds are so powerful in this and the lighting looks so cool.
 03/16/2009 12:52:03 PM
like the colors and tones...but your cropping took away from your picture...how are you saving this for web?
 03/16/2009 11:41:30 AM
Sky seems a little unnatural
 03/16/2009 08:45:43 AM
Nice colors
 03/15/2009 10:19:54 PM
Well captured and presented. Fantastic colors.
 03/15/2009 09:53:53 PM
Wonderful colors but IMO the photo is over processed.
 03/15/2009 06:45:07 PM
Natural spotlight. Well captured.
 03/15/2009 06:45:07 PM
Awesome to see; you caught the sky and light perfectly.
 03/15/2009 06:01:51 PM
Just a tad oversaturated, overall image does not really have the "wow" look at that landscape feel , sorry/ Could be because of the crop that you presented this in. 6
 03/15/2009 08:00:28 AM
gad, I wish we could see these bigger. from what I can tell this is a real stunner
 03/15/2009 07:34:42 AM
That's some kind of sky isn't it??
 03/15/2009 07:17:43 AM
I like the colors but feel the photo is too small to get a detailed look. Unfortunate you couldn't crop out the telephone poles.
 03/15/2009 06:11:18 AM
What lovely light!
 03/15/2009 05:42:37 AM
Great PP job - love the tone and color of this - keep up the good work
 03/15/2009 01:42:32 AM

Beautiful combination of mountain and sky.
 03/14/2009 06:04:00 PM
great colors and nice lighting
 03/14/2009 03:39:24 PM
Wow. Beautiful colors - not really obvious what it is if you're not already familiar with it, but has enough info to "see" it if you take a bit.
 03/14/2009 02:53:43 PM
That lighting is interesting and the clouds are nice but smoothed over.
 03/14/2009 01:32:42 PM
Intense sunset!
 03/14/2009 09:54:34 AM
great effect
 03/14/2009 07:34:03 AM
Lovely colours on the mountain.
 03/14/2009 05:36:33 AM
Nice use of light
 03/13/2009 10:51:07 PM
Wow, it's like the clouds opened up just to shine on that ridge. Nicely done.
 03/13/2009 07:18:37 PM
nice colors
 03/13/2009 10:01:09 AM
Neat colors.
 03/13/2009 07:32:25 AM
A little too processed for my liking, but the treatment of the clouds vs. landscape is interesting. All feels a little too tightly cropped though.
 03/13/2009 07:30:28 AM
wow, this is beautiful
 03/13/2009 05:17:36 AM
Interesting colours in this
 03/12/2009 08:39:02 PM
I don't feel attracted to this picture!
 03/12/2009 06:02:19 PM
Interesting skyline. Looks like a storm is brewing.
 03/12/2009 03:45:24 PM
Good lighting and subject. Nice dramatic sky.
 03/12/2009 12:47:08 PM
The lighting on the mountain is beautiful, but the clouds seem a little overprocessed for me.
 03/12/2009 10:45:48 AM
This is a beautiful photo of a certainly amazing landscape. I've been to Sandia, and your photo is a great representation. This should be a postcard.
 03/12/2009 08:45:24 AM
Beautiful capture and beautiful colours !
 03/12/2009 07:07:22 AM
a little soft on the clouds, and the trees and poles at the bottom of the image are a little distracting
 03/12/2009 06:46:18 AM
Strong light. Cool shot
 03/11/2009 10:35:24 AM
Nice balance between the rocks and sky.
 03/11/2009 06:59:21 AM
while the mountain looks oversharp, the clouds seem too soft. the tree tops and telephone poles rather distract
 03/11/2009 05:33:26 AM
great sunlight but it seems small
 03/11/2009 04:02:18 AM
nice landscape captured here. the crop is a little narrow to take full effect here @ DPC. the clouds seems a little overprocessed or too much noise reduction applied. good luck: 6
 03/11/2009 03:10:04 AM
There's a nice sense of the clouds surrounding the hill/crest/whatever it is.
 03/10/2009 09:11:51 PM
Interesting capture, nice colors.
 03/10/2009 08:50:37 PM
Spectactular lighting (or maybe magnificent is a better word)...
