Glorious Silhouette - a photo on Flickriver

Cathedral Rock, Sedona, Arizona

Best seen in Lightbox, i.e., click on the expand arrows at upper right.

Back last March (2024), I uploaded a color version I very much liked but thought a monochrome treatment might also turn out well. I began working on that not long after but wasn't satisfied. I took up the task again yesterday and finally came to a result I liked. It remains to be seen whether anyone else will. :-) You can see that earlier version here: www.flickr.com/photos/80014607@N05/53574525805/in/datepos... .

There's good reason why this area is so celebrated. HINT: It isn't because of the high prices for everything in the town.

This is a Pano combining three shots taken with my Nikon D810.
