Description
My last submission from saguaro, Before I played with the image I almost overlooked it. It was overexposed and looked nothing like what I saw in person. I tampered with it until it looked close enough to reality, then it struck me...It needed more punch. The storm clouds were starting to break and light was going every which direction. I ran a few different layers of linear burn over the mountains until It was dramatic enough. I'm not sure if I love the image enough to keep it, But that spiral petroglyph is very famous in the park, and I just had to get a photo of it somehow...Let me know what you think!Signal hill, Saguaro national park- Arizona

It's obvious that you know what your doing when it comes to making an image stand out. Your work is so beautiful and amazing to top it off you pulled off an over exposed image and come up with this. Amazing

Thank you I appreciate it. This is a fairly older image that wasn't shot in RAW, so I was amazed what I could do with just the jpeg file. Hoping to reshoot this location sometime soon.

Great image! I love the way the spiral's rock mimics the mountain in the background. Isn't it weird how you can overlook a photo, like you said, and then end up realizing that it's a gem later...and this one is a gem. I really like your landscape stuff by the way

Thanks man! I kept staring at that rock and the mountains and was thinking to myself how close they resemble one another...I need to work on more landscape images, my telephoto seems to always be stuck on my camera these days.

I know what you mean. You should go out somewhere and go bird hunting and then take some landscape photos when there's good light out. What you're doing now, works too

Yeah, I always bring both lenses with in case...Just never in a decent location for landscapes ha.
