Nice work. I really like the second one over the rest due to the foreground and a bit of the sky.

These are all incredible photos. But as an old livestock judge, I place this class of photos 3, 1, 2. I have my reasons for doing so, but my typing skills are slow.

Thanks, folks. And yes, thanks for pointing out my mistakes, too.
Though I shot other views from various spots (spots? did someone mention spots?) around this outcrop, it might be worth mentioning that #1 and #3 are the same shot (or shots, since each has been pano-ed together from multiple exposures), just cropped differently. I consider #3 a failed shot --compositionally-- but liked having gotten the sun and the rays and such, so I included it.

All great shots, as we've come to expect from your posts, Jim! If I must single one out, it would be #2 for my $.02 worth!

Well done. No choice for 3 great shots. Takes a better screen than mine as I see no spots.

I always like your work. I don't know if you altered the skys but if you did great work and if you didn't great work.

I am not sure, Jim if you need to do much with the number one?
It tells the story very well.
From the framing point, I would try to see, if it looks better by adding about one inch on the left side and reduce the right side for about twoo inches?
It is a rather mechanical process, but we do read from left to right. The extra inch on the left maybe welcomed?
The right side doesn't carry much of your story anyway?
On another subject I am usually sensitive to, are the shadows. I think I would try to brighten them up?
Not very important, but it might look better to "read" the detail there?
Cheers!

Either, both, or any suggestions could easily 'work,' Paul, so no problem there. While well aware of the 'we read left to right' dictum, however, its a notion that I chose to disregard a long time ago. Sure, I'm an American, born and bred, and while I'm well conditioned/steeped in thinking in Western Culture ways, but this world is bigger than just that, and I'm likewise aware that there are more ways to read or reason or write --either visually or with those symbols we call words-- than most of us can comprehend. Among other influences, some of those alt-aesthetics grew by way of a conversation I had with an Australian Aboriginal, dozens of other times I've spent with Hopis or Navajos or Utes, or having learned to read in the original the literatures of the early Middle Ages in the highly Scandinavianized dialect of Northwest England English, by writers whose names nobody knows. Those who believe composition only comes 'on the thirds,' or according to the Grecian 'Golden Mean' have studied less than a quarter of the possible ways to compose anything.
Pardon the rant, Paul. I do appreciate you taking the time to comment cogently.
