Have not been in the desert for awhile...been hot! We finally got out... Suggestions are always a welcome.

Cool shot!! Looks like a phoenix (or pterodactyl) swooping over!! The sky transition from light to dark is kinda blocky. If you can smooth that, I think it would enhance a very nice picture.

Here is a re-worked hoping the grain isn't distracting.

Much improved, IMO.

To me, in the first one the clouds look like smoke from a distant fire. I like it.

. . . For that reason, I like it more than the second one, even as nice as it is. :thumb
