- This is a classic image of Cathedral Rock in wonderful storm light. The composition is very good with the reflection nicely placed in the pool. Exposure is very good as is the focus. The maker might consider cropping a bit off the bottom and left side of the frame to reduce the prominence of the cactus and grasses.
- iconic photo of Cathedral Rock. While I'm a big fan of foreground elements, the grass doesn't work for me. I see a picture in a picture which is more dramatic. Consider cropping 1/3 off the left side and 1/3 off the bottom.
- For a shot seen a hundred times you made this special. Every element works.
- Stormy sky enhances the light of late day on Cathedral Rock. Good composition with prickly pear/grass in foreground, water leading to second group of vegetation/reflection.
