This is a wonderful choice of subject and composition. It has great depth and I just all around like it. It could use a wee bit more room above the tree. Maybe it's just me but seems the whole thing needs an ever so slight adjustment in the clockwise direction. More time spent in pp to boost the photo would be well spent.

Thank you for taking the time to comment and your suggestions. It actually had a bit more space above the tree until I cropped it from the left. I wanted to retain the aspect ratio and sacrificed a bit above and below in order to do so. I'll take another look at the orientation with regard to clockwise rotation.

You did a remarkable job in achieving a balance of exposure levels between the details in the shadow, tree, and maintaining details in the highlights of Cathedral Rock.

excellent exposure, focus and capture of optimal hypefocality. The dark foreground framing he glorious low light on the impressive geological/ topographical subject provides admirable impact.
The composition is a bit heavy on foreground. I suggest cropping from the right and bottom, but not so much as to loose the great internal framing.
That ancient juniper is impressive, but I'd crop to about the middle of the massive, right-hand trunk.

Beautiful scene; the red sandstone and dark greens and grays are nicely seasoned with the scarce, scattered yellow blossoms!
