Thank You all for your comments. I was most fortunate to live in UT for the last 12 years amidst the red rock beauty. This area was one of my sanctuaries.

You aren't a photographer, you're an artist.

Awesome pic. That puddle makes it really good.

Amazing image!

focus stacked?

This was not focus stacked. It was done with a nodal panoramic setup that I designed and had fabricated for me. I call it a Technopan. This image is just over 42mp and is technically a panoramic image in execution.

Beautiful shot, Robert! I like the composition a great deal.

In fact, I'd love to purchase a 16x20" handmade print of this image, if you're willing and the price is reasonable (alternatively, you could sell me the hi-res image file and I could have my printer produce the print). This scene would look perfect on the wall of my home office. Please let me know your thoughts - offbeat1@hotmail.com
