Description
One very cool thing of the southwest is the great glow you get during sunset. This shot only lasted for a couple of minutes and the glow was gone. I was at the perfect place at a perfect timeArch Rock located at Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada, this is why its called "Valley of Fire"

I like this a lot. The intense orange ground being hit by the late afternoon sun is great. It puts the shadows above instead of below which is quite unique and gives the image great depth.
The colours also contrast brilliantly.
Awesome work indeed

Your shots are all so interesting. The compositions you choose really have something going for it. The eye is drawn to it then across the image. You've got a fantastic eye. Beautiful textures, one of my countless must-visit spots now.

Wow, nature is really good at complimentary colors. Great shot cowboy. I think the white frame really really intensifies the colors in this photo, I had to shield my eyes as I put it in full view. The colors, the shadows, texture, its ....extreme. Great job!

"....perfect place at a perfect time..."
Couldn't have said it better myself.
But it's also good thing you were able to make such a great photo out of the moment

Wow, the vibrant reds on the rock in the foreground made me think of flowing lava upon first glance at this photo. The lighting at sunset can do strange and wonderful things to the surrounding environment...the name Valley of Fire is very appropriate to this area.

Great capture of color here, really beautiful. I'm curious if it's enhanced at all? Wonderful composition as well, this kind of shot would have been far less striking if not taken by your clearly talented eye.

Man, the colors. I envy that sort of clear sky this time of year. Nice diagonal vectors. Cropping off the middle rock works nicely.
