Winding Passage

Amazing sometimes what I find when doing some good old hard drive cleaning, how some images that I didn't give a second look to at first catch my eye over a year later. From the non-Antelope Arizona slots, single file processed several times for tonal range and blended. Thanks for looking and have a good weekend.

Some nice light and textures, but I much prefer the light and composition of this version.

I wish I had shots like this that I had overlooked!! The light here is incredible and your processing looks great. This is also well composed - the window really stands out and the winding contours hold my interest very well. This stands out among other slot canyon images in my book!!

John, thanks, this POV from the same area caught my eye because of the way the arch framed the bg reflected light...the one in the link was my original favorite. Thanks.

Gorgeous. Just love the soft blues on the warmly lit rock and the way the swirly stone seems to break back on itself.

Nicely done. I like this as much as any I've seen from the slots.

Beautiful color and textures Chris. I especially like the luminosity.

Neat view with lots of action in the foreground leading back to the warm yellow glow in the distance. I really like how "swirly" it is, keeps the eyes roaming.
