Terrific. Dramatic compositions and color. I especially like the last one, although the formation appears to have a halo.

[casil403]

How's this...the thing is it's either halo and cloud detail or no halo and boring cloud detail...:shrug: personally I dig the cloud detail...I think it makes the photo. ...Lightroom Sliders won't let me have both. :)

[Wicked Dark]

Darn sliders!! still, I really like that last one. I prefer it dialed down a bit, but the composition and the elements of the photo are really harmonious.

[casil403]

Thanks....Love the sliders but sometimes they are stupid...lol! :wall-an:

I didn't know they had a name! I come across them from time to time along the path. Don't know if the builder calls them that, or if they're just piling rocks for fun.

Here Q1 is some information on Inukshuks :)Inukshuk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inukshuk):
and Rock Balancing, another art form:

Still looking cold and desolate out there Casil. I like the 1st shot and the B&W rock pile too.

I have a very sore A$$! :eek:

Probably worth it though, you have some wonderful images here.

[Bambi]

yup. definitely worth the sore ass!

[casil403]

Thanks...My A$$ thanks you also. ;)

Thanks for the links, Casil. None of the ones I've seen have looked like a person, so it'd be the rock balancing. I haven't seen any lately, but that might change once rafting season starts.
