Phantasialand
by R.Bill Moser
This one is from past July taken at "Aare Canyon" in the Bernese Oberland in switzerland. The "Aare" is one of the biggest rivers in switzerland.When I visited this canyon the last time, i was a kid. This must've been over 30 years ago. At this point the canyon is just a couple of meters wide. 6 single exposures manaully blended in photoshop for dynamic range.
Nikon D700, AF-S Nikkor 16-35mm f/4G ED VR @35 mm, Iso:200, 6 exposures, f13,polarizer

I think this is one terrific mind bender! And don't understand why it's not getting a bigger reaction. This is a hard one to figure out, which makes it engaging just trying to figure out which is forward, what's in front of what, etc. The light, especially at the bottom seems artificial - as if you're in one of those caves where they have it lit up for visitors. But that's not a bad thing per se, just another thing that I just can't figure out.
I love the color and light, especially in the upper 3/4 of the frame. In fact, I think a small crop off the bottom eliminating the brightest light and what appears to be the ground, would really increase the abstract nature this. I think this is fascinating!

I think the blown out highlights at the bottom might be an artifact due to jpeg compression and could easily be fixed. Thanks for sharing this most interesting image.
