I was drawn to the subtle color change on the wall as the light came dawn into the canyon. I cropped it down from the top because the overhang on the right curved over the top and it made the composition seem top heavy. I'd appreciate any critiques you may have.

A very nice frame of graduating colors and wave patterns here, Scott. Real nice to see something a bit different from this place.

I love the light and the textures. The diagonal composition works.

I like it too Scott, the colour transition is beautiful. I'd maybe try lightening the darker rock a little.

Very nice indeed, Scott. One of the slot images where the light transition actually provides a very impressive variety of colorful layers. :cool:

Gorgeous abstract. Though I'm wondering how it might look if the upper right corner were slightly lightened.

Beautiful lines and colors here. The diagonal works well very well I think.
