The world of Bible scholarship offers similar sentiments.
In Matthew Henry's Exhaustive Commentary he says, "Let us make man.’’ Man was to be a creature different from all that had been hitherto made. Flesh and spirit, heaven and earth, must be put together in him, and he must be allied to both worlds. And therefore God himself not only undertakes to make him, but is pleased so to express himself as if he called a council to consider of the making of him: Let us make man. The three persons of the Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, consult about it and concur in it, because man, when he was made, was to be dedicated and devoted to Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Into that great name we are, with good reason, baptized, for to that great name we owe our being. Let him rule man who said, Let us make man.
Other commentators and preachers echo the same. John MacArthur a highly respected Reformed theologian and teacher referred to it as the consultation of God's triunity.
