This is my first post to this forum but not my first photograph . . I was a commercial photographer for 14 years in Houston (1970 - 1984), then burned out from looking at the world upside down and backwards through all the 4x5 and Hasselblad equipment . . . put it up in 1984 and haven't seriously taken a "image" since . .

I recently "restarted" my passion with a Nikon D810 system complete with all the "holy trinity of lenses" and have been having a great time learning the "digital age" of cameras . . . If they had digital software back then, I probably would never have stopped, BUT this digital manipulation has me quite "humbled" with using Affinity for the first time and struggling to get all the different adjustments where they should be . .

I was in Colorado Springs on Saturday when the storm front began to move down from the mountains onto the front range, and while there, the sun peaked from behind a cloud to light up the foreground on the red rocks, giving me a pretty good 3D combination . . . got it . .

NOW, let me know what I should be doing to improve this image . . I really don't know how I got here, but I know I didn't do everything that should be done for improvements . . .

I have a pretty tough skin after 74 years, so all comments and suggestions are welcome!

Thanks for looking and commenting.
