I like the warmth in this. So many Narrows images are very cool (in color). Warm works for me. Wonderful repeating water shapes in the foreground too.

Very pleasing image from the classic location. Love the reflections in the water. Best Regards.

Very nice how the water is coming right into the scene Michael. Love the glowing back wall and the patterns on the bottom of the wall on the right.

Hello Michael,

Splendid location

The shutter speed is well here, the effect on water is curiously pretty : ) Always too, this great perspective wow really insane to the light on the beautiful texture. Super moment, the feet in water

Nice shot. I like the low angle and how it depicts the rocks.

The large version is a must here. The shorter shutter speed really helps to accent the textures throughout the scene. All of the diagonal lines also make this very dynamic.

Nice!

I'm fond of slightly softer water.

Still great shot.

There is a lot here that I like. The warm light has a nice feel. The textures and lines in the cliff wall are really nice. The golden light in the back looks like a piece of gold foil wrapping paper (really nice!) I like the bit of light on the dark wall and especially on the smaller rocks at the bottom of it. The water is perfect imo. The large version really shows all of this off so nice. It is beautiful.

Beautiful colors and nice comp, Michael. Capturing good images in Zion is harder than it looks, but you have done well here. Nice work!

That is pure gold. Well at least the lightest part is. Gold is an extremely difficult color for me to process, but yours is 24k. :biggrin. I like the water motion again.

Great shot of an intriguing place. I've got to get there one day. I'm also fond of softer water, but here, the shutter speed works really well. It almost obscures the rocks beneath just enough to make them look like shimmering golden reflections. Really nice!
