At the time I took this picture I wasn't aware that the lens I was using was coming apart. Shortly after I took this picture the front half of the lens barrel came off in my hand. This lens problem probably accounts for the unusual softness of the picture. By working on the image in Photoshop, I was able to create an image that pleases me a lot. For those interested, the picture was taken from the LaSalle Mnts near Moab Utah, and looks down on Canyonlands National Park
