This is one of the many hoodoos in Bisti Badland, New Mexico. Someone named it Eagle's Nest.

Trippy looking area John. The processing is pretty interesting...a bit too soft for my tastes, but this is a style that seems to be pretty popular. Regardless, it's an interesting area and a creative photograph. Seems a tad titled to the right though.

The processing gives this a surreal look,I like it!I also like the grouping of rocks on the ground.

Fascinating place and very interesting light. I like your use of the fallen rocks in the foreground.

Once again nature pulls off a great show and you captured this place very well.

Gorgeous colors here. I really like the smaller rocks laying around the bottom too. I would like to see this one cropped on the left side closer to the left-most bottom rock along with a slight counter-clockwise rotation. Excellent image though.

Nice composition and lighting John. I really like the scattered fallen rocks. The main hoodoo really does look like an eagle's nest.

Nice colors, foreground elements, details, and sky. The hoodoo seems a little too centered. There are a lot of other interesting things to see, but the prominent hoodoo hogs all the attention.

You've done a nice job simplifying the chaos of this location. Your processing gives this photo an interesting look -- especially the sky. My only nit is that the image feels like it needs rotation. Although it may very well be level, there is an optical illusion produced by the lines on the hoodoos, and the angle of the clouds.
