[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The red rocks of Sedona , Arizona and the quintessential landscape we were used to seeing in the Western movies, when they were the action movies of their day--The Wild West.
The rocks are made of sandstone and have this distinctive red colour and many layers. As the rock is relatively soft it can be eroded into flutes and columns by the elements.

Hello Joni, cette image est magnifique elle me rapelle les films western de ma jeunesse. Il ne manque que les indiens­. Bravo Gilles

hello Joni

Very nice landscape view with such a good composition of the rocks feature. Is this the sky natural color? I find the contrast a bit low with low light condition, just my opinion.

A nice perspective point of view that you have captured.

tfs, bill

Nice colours and a very nice scenery, Joni. I really like the panoramic format you used, that always works well with landscapes. I'd consider cloning out the patch of earth (?) in the left foreground, as it doesn't really add to the compo.
What doesn't work for me is the inner frame you used, too distracting for me...
