Judges' comments:
Ominous; good focus; like the V-shape in the landscape; print is a bit dark; could crop from bottom to eliminate lower left corner; not quite sharp
Maker's notes:
This image was taken in the Virgin River Canyon in Zion National Park, Utah with my Canon 7D Mark II and a 18-135 mm lens at 20mm. It was take about 1 hr. before sunset with a storm coming in. Exposure mode was Aperture Priority HDR with nominal setting at f/11, ISO 800 resulting in a shutter speed of 1/2000 sec.. The high shutter speed was necessary due to the wind and all the leaves in photo. 5 shot HDR was used with 2 f/1.5 steps positive and 2 f/1.5 steps negative.
