Middle Earth

Nice! The light on those formations is fantastic! As much as i like the pink clouds up top, i think this would make a terrific pano too. Good work, John.

This is beautiful John. I really like the shapes of the rock formations, and the clouds add some amazing color. Well done!

Very nice John. These are some awesome rock formations and love how they seem to glow here. The clouds and light are really sweet too.

These formations have a real out of this world look. The light on them is spectacular and really make this image. Nice job John!

wow,, what an awesome place !! very nice light on those structures, love the colors of the clouds, very cool location !!

Amazing scene! It looks very Daliesque.

Some of the neatest formations I have seen. The awesome light and beautiful capture do them more than adequate justice!

This is nice John, I really like the soft light here and the clouds really help out that sky. The more I look at this, the more I like it. Really nice mood here, very quiet and yet alien.

Nice work.

Very nice John. I like the fragile look to the formations. Well framed and great colors too.

I know exactly where in the badlands this is; I was there two years ago. When I was looking at this "wings" formation, the light was (ahem) nowhere near as nice as this.

Were you able to hike out before darkness set in? One night when I was there I shot at Bisti Arch until twilight and it was a bit of an adventure getting back to the south parking area.

Excellent work on this one, John.

Great photo. Really love the rich color and unusual formations.

The light and clouds really add drama to this image. I love it.

Fantastic image, one of the more unique I have seen from there

Love the capture of these formations, and the delecate clouds above add a nice texture and color balance to the image as a whole.

John,

Wonderfully titled and just incredible imagery. I love those capstones especially the middle one with its slightly tipped up tail. That lighting is magical as well, really nice. I need to visit this place some day.

The tones of the rock are amazing, I like the mood that they set. I think I'm with Stan, I like the idea of a pano with the top part cropped off. The composition is also very nice with your placement of the rock formations.

A surreal place to begin with, enhanced by the mysterious looking glow and beautiful sky. Excellent work here, John!

Beautiful, otherworldly scene John with such wonderful light and color. Nice work.

WOW, great capture John, this is over the top in my humble opinion

Thanks for the kind words, folks.

Hey Kerry,
This was less than a mile back to the vehicle along a dead flat course.
It was a breeze getting back!

Thanks again!

Definitely has the Bisti feel. The comp and mood work really well here John. I like the strong shadowing too.

Otherworldly.

superb work, john! the shapes, the clouds, all of the forms are fantastic.

Wow, what an amazing place. Perfectly composed and executed.

Unique comp, gorgeous color. I've never seen anything quite like this.

Great shot John, those formations are outstanding. Really like the nice soft pastel colors in the sky, well done.

Wow, wonderful sky and out-of-this-world scenery... I like the comp as is... excellent work!

Simply surreal, John. Lovely work.

John: What a cool place, wonderful light, and a superb capture. Bravo! >=))>

John, I really like the way the clouds and the very subtle light are striking the formations. Really does look like middle earth. Best Regards.

Not sure how i missed this...glad I didnt... this is awesome. I think a pano without the top part of the sky would better this. Great shot!

Congrats on the EP John

Nice colors and excellent rhythm-very sci/fi fantasy oriented image!

Congratulations John! Well deserved

Like everything about this outstanding image. Congratulations on the EP!

Awesome John!

Beautiful image!
Congrats on the EP!

Awesome image, John! Congratulations.

extraordinary formations. i would wish for slightly better light on the formations. the contrast between the hard formations and soft colours works well.

What a stunning shot, congrats!

Brilliant shot, John. Reminds me of a Ralph McQuarrie painting... very sci-fi.

The muted light on terra firma is killer, and you pulled out the subtleties VERY well, great job John! This would look superb printed big/huge/ginormous.

I really like this photo!!!
