Vast

Another one from the Colorado National Monument. At one time, all that you see was covered by a vast ocean.

This is really beautiful. There’s a sense of desolation that’s perfectly captured.

You almost had it, but I don't like the vignetting in the upper corners.

I'm not getting s sense of scale or perspective. Was it taken through the window of a plane?

I like the landscape, but not the final image. It is too low contrast for my taste, and the centered horizon makes it a bit dull. I would have saved with more contrast, and cropping out the top third.

All that wasted space on top makes this kinda boring to me. Voted delete.

Good try. I like the object and even the vignette.
But technically it isn't perfect. I think you sharpened it too much. (The foreground)

the mountains are a tad dark for me. I'm wondering if just a touch of fill lighting could improve them just a bit.

I don't like the vignetting and find the sky pretty boring. A better crop and a touch more contrast might help it.

horizon on the center line is always a no-go for me. I quite like the exposure overall, but the horizon would have been an easy eye-pleaser. Sorry you got deleted!
