Hi guys

Winter is coming to Spain and I'm very excited to photograph snowy landscapes at the Guadarrama range but now it's time to sandstone. It was a 2 week trip to colorado plateau three years ago with my EOs 33V and still using Velvia.

We visited south coyote buttes wilderness area trying to capture the incredible patterns over the sandstone, I hope to come back in the next years with my 5D

Focal lenght 40mm
Film Velvia
ISO 50
f/16
Canon EOS 33v
Canon EF 17-40 f/4L USM
Polarizer
Tripod

So waiting your critiques

To be honest Roberto, this isn't working for me. The Coyote Buttes area of course is known for its beautiful formations. But this composition just seems somewhat ... rushed to me. The lines do draw me into the image, but there is not really anything to hold my interest.

I hope you do get back there again.

Very vibrant colors here, and the shapes are fantastic. About the comp. Roberto, I love that S curve on the left portion of the image, guess an intimate view exploring just those details around that area could work better to render this scene?

"but now it's time to sandstone"

Beautifully put, Roberto. You just made my day.
