Looks great, I'm curious though. It looks like the photo could be a HDR photo, did you combine using a HDR program or just stitched a few frames together, or is it just an incredibly exposed photo. I'm curious because of how great it looks.

Nice Job :)

I don't do HDR and it's a single frame image. I just use available tools in Photoshop for all my editing. The main thing that makes this image look this way is my custom B&W conversion. I just use the B&W filter and adjust the sliders to the way I want. The other main part I did was a 100% highlight recovery to pull out the clouds. There are other steps but that's the main ones.

Ah the highlight recovery was what made me think that. With a sun behind the monument it must have been blown out pretty good, and you must have exposed for the monument itself. I like it!

Really nice capture Randy, I like the way you processed it too....... I did the same type of shot with some of the Obelisks the last time I was there (lost my glasses that day too)

I hate to be the odd man out....

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be looking at. The sun glare/flare is very bright, followed by the clouds. That attracts my attention first. I want to look at the obelisk and the lettering there-on, but it's rather dark.

I do like the detail in obelisk, and the overall mood of the image. But element seem to compete too much.

As always, for me.
