•  Comment Nice atmosphere, very dramatic. However, the composition makes me somewhat uneasy, because the foreground rock and the middleground Joshua trees seem to be fighting for attention. I would suggest cropping it to make one or the other more dominant in the image. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 06:28, 6 October 2013 (UTC)

• IMHO it is OK that they fight for attention (for me the rock in the foreground is much more eye-catching). Both element, giant rocks and Joshua Trees, are characteristic elements of the park. Cropping out the Joshua Tree would destroy the dramatic atmosphere (clouds), cropping out the foreground rock would destroy the central idea of the composition: sun-lightened rock in the foreground vs. dramatic apporaching thunderstorm. --Tuxyso (talk) 09:01, 6 October 2013 (UTC)

•  Comment Noise level of the sky (darker parts) could be reduced. --Ivar (talk) 09:42, 6 October 2013 (UTC)
