Taken on a HOT day in "Garden of the gods" in Colorado. Beautiful place, but hard to photograph "clean" rocks because they were spotted with rock climbers. (cropped)

Excellent capture -- and I highly recommend the Garden of the Gods to anyone visiting that area of Colorado.

You'd think someone would invent a product to get those pesky climbers off of hard to clean rocks...

This is a wonderful capture. The contrast between the sky and they rocks in both the colours and shapes is just stunning. Lovely perspective too. Im glad you found a rock with no climbers on! 10/10

I'm really into goth rock and new wave. My favorite band is The Birthday Massacre. The guy in my avatar is, in fact, a guy. His name is Mana from the band Malice Mizer.

Your cropping still resulted in an excellent shot! Quality detail here and the cloud cover cooperated quite nicely.

as a climber I appreciate you pointing out a piece of virgin rock
care to take a snap now?
/me waves while clinging on half way up :P

simply super sky and rocks
great juxtaposition in the colours
the texture of the rock is inspirational (for climbers like me)

if you wont mind a slight intentionally constructive comment that: I find the composition slighty unusual, I cant quite put my finger on it but I think its that theres no focus as such The spike of rock starts from a blank spot bottom right and ends up in the middle somewhere or nowhere

a recrop would fix that immediately
you could play with 1/3rds or some strong diagonal lines with a rotate of the whole thing

anyway ... im really enjoying this photo as it stands and with its possibilities

cheers for sharing

btw .... welcome to caedes!

keep on sharing your lovely photos
