Potholes and Reflections

Beautiful, everything works really well in this shot.

Absolutely fantastic!! The comp is strong, the clouds complement wonderfully, and the processing is good. I especially like that the light on the point is not harsh and overpowering.

Another good one, Doug.

Picture perfect, Doug.

The potholes reflecting the rock and sky are really nice. It's also interesting how the clouds perfectly fit around the rock.

Love this one Doug
the reflection in the bottom is excellent
also, the contrast between the blue sky and the mountain looks lovely

great work bro

Very Nice!!! Well done, Great color

Beautiful - not the smallest nit from me. Great colors, perfect reflection and perspective, and cool sky.

Hi Doug,
Sharp, beautiful and warm.
A very nice composition and result.

I really like all the elements of this. The light & reflection in the red rock pools sings. The main part of the image feels a little loose & bullseyed. It works, and esp. with the arcing cloud, but part of me would still like to see the comp slightly tighter.

Doug,

What a beautiful desert landscape from the Am. Southwest. Just a great composition with the reflecting pools and the light striking the rock formations is sweet and beautiful. Great sky to finish off the composition. No nits or suggestions from me.

Beautiful shot Doug. Really nice light and the pools of water with the reflections are great. I like the sky too! Great just like it is.

A very pleasing composition. Great colour and super clouds around the stack.

Absolutely gorgeous, Doug! The reflection, the light, the circling clouds--everything comes together for a serene and beautiful photograph.

Very nice composition with the peak reflecting in the water. Lovely light too - well done Doug.

Amazing shot, Doug.

Beautiful! Composition,color, lighting all came together perfectly. I particularly likebhow the cloud formation above the peak appears to be mimicking the outline of the peak.

Awesome Doug, I was hoping to find some conditions like this on my last trip to Arches, but didn't come away with anything this nice!

The contrasting colors and the reflective pools are sweet, and some great light on the sandstone. Well done.

I'll just ditto the rest of the comments! What I really like is the juxtaposition of the cool foreground with the warm light on the peak. Well done.

Beautiful rich color and great composition Doug. Wonderful sky and reflection too!

Very nice Doug, would love to see this some day. Thanks!

Gorgeous all around southwestern look here, Doug. The strong blue backdrop enhances the red rock perfectly. The larger image is excellent in every way too.

Outstanding work Doug - everything works so well here. I love it.

A real beaut, Doug--the puddles are awesome, and you centered the reflection perfectly!

A beautiful red-rock image.

Perfect light, great comp, reflections what more could you want?

The composition feels a little bit static given the centering of the main subject, but all the other elements complement really well the scene. Good job!

Wonderful compositon with the reflection and clouds lined up around the peak, the larger image was a pleasure to view, way to go.

Perfect reflection, and the crown of clouds is sweet! When were you here?

Excellent work, Doug. This is a real joy to look at.

Wonderful conditions for your composition. Just perfect!

Great shot!

Well Captured! Nice color, reflections and light! I will be down there in the area in March/April! I hope to come back with these kind of photo's!!

What more is there to say? Just beautiful! Ron

Wow, you can't beat that arrangement of elements. Clouds are perfect. Beautiful.

This is sweet but is begging for a b/w ;)

This is excellent, Doug. Perfect light and wonderful comp.

Fantastic Image Doug, those clouds are something!

Holy cow. FANTASTIC Doug. I absolutely LOVE the tones and the way the clouds beautifully compliment the scene.

I'd say this imager is about as flawless as it could be. Just amazing clarity and color throughout. I want one of these for me!

This shot comes together very nicely. Between the reflection, the dappled light on the formation, and the clouds that mimic the shape of the rock, all the pieces of this puzzle fit perfectly. Although I really love the color on this one, I also suggest exploring B&W. In the past, I've found that photos with reflections and clouds can bet taken outside the realm of reality and into an almost dream-like state when a good B&W conversion is done. Since you have contrasting colors here, there is a lot of potential for making a dramatic B&W conversion.

love it

Terrific shot Doug, comp is excellent. The beautiful blue sky looks magnificent behind the gorgeous red rock structure.

I love the gold and blue, and the composition here is great. Those puddles are wonderful.

Killer comp with the pools and reflection, really well done!

Stunning colors and a gorgeous composition, Doug!!

Great composition!

Great color and comp. Really nice light as well. I like the crown of clouds above the rock.
