What perspective!!! Great view here, great eye!!!
Thank you, Veronica! This was kind of an oddball post but the image does sum up very pleasant encounters with the red rock country. Do you know Dixon's work?

No, no, nooo, not going in there.....not doing it ....nope, nope! I will never go back there, And beside, I am sure I left nothing in there.
Just noticed NJFranks post, that makes two good decisions.

Long time reader, first time posting. Wintertime, culling old photos, found this one from a few years ago on a winter trip through Texas. I almost never use a sepia tone, but somehow think it works here.
The toning works well here Dan. This is an engaging image; I look forward to seeing more.

Thank you Mike. His largest body of work is in Salt Lake City.

I wasn't familiar with the artist, so did a two-minute overview on Google. Your strong composition is very engaging, and it seems you've muted the colors to emulate Mr. Dixon's style.
Great to know you're expanding your processing interests, Phil!

Thank you, Linda. I hope I was not too esoteric with this reference; I do love his work. His use of color in related but semi-isolated blocks was what I was going for here. His colors were bold but even more muted. His work is among the best at illustrating the fundamentally arid aspect of the west. And he was married to Dorothea Lange for a time and that must have been interesting! I have been reading more about the impact of the WPA arts projects in the west, some good works were done.

Arches NP. May, 2009. Dixon is one of my favorite western landscape painters and he was married to one of my favorite photographers.

Image from MidJourney. First to Topaz PhotoAI for sharpening. My standard workflow in Photoshop. Topaz Studio 2 for a mild painterly effect. Finally to NIK Silver Efex 6 for sepia treatment and to accent the fog

Wow Jack, every step in your workflow took this image further in a pleasing direction. The sepia is just the thing.

STELLA!!
This is fun and well put together. Salvador Dali once promised the world he would stop "flying cats"...but he didn't.
