Valley
I liked these two contrasty Rocky hills and Blue sky between them. Camera angle is kind of towards the sky (Non-horizontal). You can see small moon at distance. 12mm focal lenght on Nikon DX format, almost full frame. As usual love to know your views.

two completely different moods of rocks captured nicely. if it would of mine, i would have cropped highly up to almost half way which removes the lower part keeping only the rocks and the moon. nice seeing here, thanks for sharing.

This is a tough view to compose, Shankar. As eyes move from right to left rocks then on to the sky, i would expect something that catches my attention to be there. The moon is too small and the far trees are too low. A cloud pattern or something could have strengthened this image, IMO. Also, the left rocks can be opened up a bit more. TFS.

Shankar, at first glance it was not clear me what anchored your vision. After reading your description I am with you. I would play with levels to increase the contrast separation between the two rocks to add further to the vision. Thanks for sharing..

Shankarji, I felt that may be the contrast on the rocks on the left is a little low. Would it convey a stronger message if the contrast levels are increased. Just my thoughts. I like the frame a lot. Though the camera was tilted upwards, still I guess the mountains in between the two rocks balance the image quite well.

Shankar, I have been thinking about this image and your thought behind it for such a composition. It's very interesting to observe how you think differently than others. The typical 'V' shaped valley with the presence of moon at a distance must have been an ecstatic feeling for you. I am sure people will appreciate this image when printed large! I am not sure about the tree on the bottom right corner of the frame though. I am loving these rocks and mountains from CO for sure!!
