Erongo wilderness

C&C welcome;

David, this is a wonderful scene, and the rich light on those rocks is special. A lovely scene indeed.
Having said that, what this image needs is a considered crop, due to the fact that the impact of this scene is drained by the encroaching slope on the left side of the image, it kind of causes my eye to wander out of the scene that way, I feel. I think the horizon is slanted slightly too.

Here is my suggection with an 8x10 crop:

Cheers Pauly,
an interesting slant, unlike the horizon

I agree with Paul's analysis, but I think you can crop to reduce the impact of that slope without entirely cropping it out. You also lose that gorgeous sunlit 'tor' on the left hand side. Here's my alternative version which is a bit less of a drastic crop:

It's a belting landscape shot Dave, well worth working hard on to get the most from it!

All good takes on it, and the original's a goodie too.
The only other suggestion I'd offer might be to experiment with a slight desaturation (if not globally, then the yellow tones in the foreground).
