Monoliths
The classic Monument Valley photograph featuring the East and West Mittens and I believe Merrick Butte. This started as a color HDR image from six separate frames. Three exposures of each half were converted to HDR images and the two resulting HDR images were stitched together into a wider panoramic view for maximum detail. That was then converted to B&W for the most impact.
Photo taken in Monument Valley, Utah (Navajo Territory)
This image has been featured in the American Southwest group and HDR Photography group. It also recently won 1st place in a photo contest at H&H Color Lab and 4th place out of 200 entries in the B&W Landscape Challenge on DPReview.com.

Thanks everyone, I really enjoy working in B&W and winning the challenge really makes me glad I decided to make this B&W instead of color. It really shows the subject off the most. FYI, everyone should see this in person sometime in their life. Same with the Grand Canyon. (The two are only separated by a several hour trip by car so go see both at the same time.)

Smashing job, good oh!

This is great, it has a very classic feel to it and I agree with the previous comment likening this to Ansel Adams’ work. The B&W is a great choice.
