Here is a more traditional image of Bryce then I have posted before. After the snow and the clouds were coming and going. The sun would brake through a light up parts of the canyon formations, like a spot light shinning on it. All comments are welcome and appreciated.

This really pops. Great light and colors and the contrast is wonderful. Traditional or not, I think this one's a winner

This is a great composition with wonderful rich color and lighting throughout. The fresh dusting of snow is like icing on the cake and the hoodoos look like hundreds of candles...ok that metaphor went too far.

But seriously, this is a fantastic image with lots of clarity and detail throughout. I also like how it shows the remarkable scale of the hoodoos next to the pine trees.

Perfect light to show this off at it's absolute best, Richard. The hoodoos are fairly glowing. Marvelous shot.

I really like this. The snow looks like heavy frost and perks up the "traditional" image quite nicely.

The light is great. I've seen this spot at sunrise a couple of times and am always amazed at how different the colors can be depending on the light. The dusting of snow is a terrific addition.
