Stunning John, has to be one of your best.

Many positives about this composition, John. Colors and lighting to begin
with,followed by textures and details. The shape at the bottom reminds
me of the flow of a creek/river. Well seen and captured. Thanks for
sharing, and thank you for today's critique of my Death Valley dunes'
image.

Very nice. One that really grabs you from the thumbnail and gets even better as it gets bigger. Color, pattern, texture, detail, wonderful light- it's all there. Very well done.

Bizarre and excellent lines and color.

Crazy beautiful color and texture John. I'm not even sure of the orientation - am I looking at ground with a side wall, or all one wall? A real unique shot and abstract. While entirely a personal decision, you might try reducing a little of the red in the shadows- may bive you more depth to the image. Adjust Color Balance in Image, Adjustments, Color Balance and try the shaow slider. Sorry if you already knew this

Excellent redrock abstract!! Great colors and lines and great bounce light.

Beautiful, mysterious, stunning, captivating, unique… The processing is perfect and I love that I can’t make out what I am looking at. For me the unknown is exciting and makes the art.
Thank you for sharing your inspirational vision with us.

The radiating lines from top to bottom are captivating John. The color is astounding and beautiful. Excellent work!

That is totally crazy John. I've never seen anything quite like this.

Amazingly beautiful John. Its a privilege for you to live in the Colorado Plateau and its a privilege for us to see this image.

Very nice...I love the lines and textures in this image. Good work.

I have no idea what I'm looking at, but it is flippin' cool! It seems like the upper portion is a tad soft, but the color, lines, and light really hold my interest.

Gorgeous colour and light John, all the lines and different textures in this look wonderful. I can't offer any suggestions, it looks great as it is.

Wow, what a fiery image. The top part reminds me of the grain exposed in a piece of broken wood, while the bottom shows pattern of sand deposition by a shallow stream. The color puts it aflame. Nice combo of patterns and flow from the right middle.
My preference would like to see some pale yellow in the "white" sandstone in the middle left.

Ohhhh! I really like the lines of the sandstone, they create a very dynamic image. Nicely composed John.

John your killing me man. I'm coming to visit and that's all there is to it. Killer shot bro.

Amazing image John!

This just ROCKS, John! One of the better stone shots ive seen.

What a stunning composition! Everything about this is wonderful, excellent!!

Luminous, glowing, stunning orange/red hues, beautiful composition. This is a real winner!

Mind blowing image, John! The colors and textures are mesmerizing.

An exceptional rendition of this location...J.

Incredible capture John, love how the patterns seem to mimic one another. Large version seems a touch soft to my eye.

John- This is amazing!!!

Thanks for the kind words and advice, folks. I greatly appreciate it!

Very cool and striking. Looks on fire.

John, this is amazing! Suggestions? Teach the rest of us how to do this quality of work!

Wow John, very unique shot and I just LOVE sandstone abstracts like this. YOu have a nice variety of lines, colors and textures here, and all lines seem to compliment each other and work very well. The bounce light here is also exceptional and you did a fine job seeing it and capturing it here. Very well done, the large version is just insane, and I'd say print it up and hang it proudly!

That is incredible! What an outstanding comp and processing. An absolutely amazing abstract!

I love it John. Fantastic work as usual!!

Absolutely spectacular. The flowing lines in the rocks are set off so amazingly by the lighting.

Truely spectacular image of an amazing location. I think I would keep this one if I were you! (just messin around)

I don't think every image has that emotional connection to it's photographer. They don't necessarily have to have it to be good. But the one's we are connected to in an emotion way are usually better. I like your expression of gratitude easily as much as I like this fine image!

Wow! That's cool! I get dizzy just looking at it! Wonderful textures and lines. No nits from me!

I love it. I have one almost exactly from the same place, but just couldn't figure out how if it worked or not. Yours is perfect and an inspiration for me to go back thru my files to see how to get it done. Kudos on a sweet image.

What incredible textures, John! Simply beautiful light too.

Just awesome! Beautiful light, color, lines and shapes. Not sure if I figured it out but the lower part looks like a river could flow through there. Really interesting shot, John.

Incredible John! I'm envious of you guys that live down there. I would like to see a B&W conversion of this to. You got all the design, texture and colors.

John,

this is just fantastic. A mind bender as far as I'm concerned. Great color and saturation. This would be a print that I could stare at for quite a while. No nits or suggestions.
