Nicely framed. Interesting about this photo is the foreground is lighter than the background (for obvious reasons in this case). Usually in landscapes it’s the other way around.

Thank you for the kind words, @lynnb! For that scene, I kind of wish I had a wider lens. The Aztec sandstone in Valley of Fire is pinkish-red with streaks of white and tan.

Thank you - I am glad you are enjoying them. I enjoyed capturing them. It was very enjoyable to slow down from my street photography way of thinking where I stalk and shoot people, constantly looking for the moment. Instead, I made a conscious decision to bring film cameras and be very deliberate in my choice of scene and setup. Also, it was refreshing to again use a tripod and cable release which also forced me to slow down and think it out more. It is how I used to shoot all the time when I was young and it reminded me of that mind-set of photography which I hadn’t used in quite a while.

Like the composition and the interaction between the film grain and the structure of the pebbles. But why did you not level the horizon in post? Maybe I'm over-sensitive to horizon mis-alignment?
 
Oh, oversight on my part. The misalignment bothers me too ! I am not too good at post-treatment ... Thanks for your kind words, BernardL.
