Last month, I hooked up with Marc Adamus and his pal Colin and we spent a week shooting all over northern Arizona and southern Utah. This was from the first day of shooting. It's a little known slot canyon near Page, Arizona.
The most remarkable thing about this particlular canyon was the floor. Since it's so rarely visited, the floor was undisturbed and had the most photogenic sand ripples and mud rolls. This was a real treat because it allowed for compositions including the floor, which gives a sense of place that you don't see all that often in shots of slot canyons.
I hope my reasoning for the image title is readily apparent. Can you see the faces?
I'd like to dedicate this image to Tony Kuyper, the Sandstone Master. His name was bandied about quite a bit by the three of us while we were there. Hope you like it, Tony.

Really wonderful title, color, everything.
I've seen a lot of slot canyon shots most of them I don't remember but this one I will.
I can absolutely see the faces and they are really a great addition to the scene. Great use of the sun - it's presence is just right, not too overpowering. Great job with the blend and processing. No nits from me. What a wonderful slot image.
