Sometimes I like to play with shapes and colors:

You showed with your last photo that you're capable of editing your photos to be more accurate with stronger colours.  I have to do that as well, adjusting saturation, hue, contrast, sharpness, etc. on my photos because they don't reproduce on NT as well as the originals.

Love the tour you're taking -  thanks for taking me along.

Post-treatment is an integral part of photography in the digital age, IMHO. In most cases, I'm trying to get as close to "real" as possible, but sometimes, as here, I like to push beyond real to surreal.

Powerful photos. Mother Nature is the supreme artist.

The best of all the pictures, at least so far.  Great work Bob.

I think your photos are getting better and better. I love this grouping. I love the color and your last shot where you enhanced the colors was really well done. 

Looks like a great trip.

Great shots, Bob! Beautiful. I'll be visiting AZ and NM in early October and I can't wait to get out there with the camera.
