Shape Of Erosion

Welcome to NPN Melissa, and beautiful post. I really like the way this is "framed" by black, and the somewhat sensuous forms and curves are beautiful. Very nice.

Lovely image. Deep rich colors. I've seen similar photos before and it always makes me want to be there.

nice warm colours, and shapes, good detail...makes for a great composition :)

Beautiful richness to the colors.

Fire and embers would be an alternative name. The curves resemble flames and are emphasized by the dark surroundings. Well done!

Thank you all...this is my first post at this site and well it took me a while to navigate I am enjoying all of the images. I will be posting several images from Antelope Canyon over the next couple of weeks and welcome your feedback. Patricia...we think a like...I have used similar names you have suggested on other images. Thanks all for your warm welcome.

Beautiful color, lines and shapes. I like the framing of dark area surrounding it.

This is a bit different for Antelope. I like the flame-like nature of the comp. I could see cropping the lighter area at the top to make the flame illusion even stronger.

Melissa,

Welcome to NPN and the ES&S Gallery! It may not surprise you to learn that I believe the Slot canyons are the most represented imagery we see here posted in this gallery. I can't speak for others, but love viewing these slot images no matter how many I may have scene. The geology is fascinating, the graphics, lines, lights and colors are just simply amazing. And I must say that your take from the Antelope canyon is fantastic! Many different ways to describe and interpret this and the burning flame is a good one. I see a passage way, a portal if you will.

Now Tony is a mentor, an idol and a friend... but I'll have to disagree and say don't crop the top! I love the subtle, sort of muted rainbow of colors up there; almost like some divine light or something...

Anyway, this is a beautiful image from the slots and you should be proud! So welcome aboard and thanks for already stepping in with some comments! I know folks appreciate it and will respond.

This is beautiful Melissa! I was here 2 years ago in August. Such a special place well captured.

Nice intimate frame job Melissa. I like the firery warmth that could also pass for some bad indigestion too. The dark red layers and texture grab me the most!

I've seen this one at BP Melissa, gets better the more ya look at it
Gives the impression of a flame in the thumbnail, looks fantastic on the black

Wow, looks like FIRE!

Hi Melissa,

oh wouah, the colors panel and the shy light here is really gorgeous which gives a certain sensuality

Wonderful shot, Melissa - I also like the dark framing of this with beautiful, rich light and shape grabbing my attention.

This is a great capture of Antelope canyon. This looks like a flame surrounded by darkness. Excellent!

I love the shadow and light here, Melissa. Beautiful image.
