I like this pretty much as is. If anything I would maybe try to bring out some shadow detail a little bit more, but that kind of gives it some more mood. Whenever I see slot canyon images I always try to think of what I am actually seeing, beyond the sandstone. In this one, I see a mother ready to give it's newborn a kiss. Slot canyons really let your imagination run wild. Beautiful image Jared.

Really nice tones, and the processing looks mighty fine. At f8. there sems to be some softness near and far which may have be intentional. I prefer sharpness throughout in thes type of canyon shots, unless it is very obvious that you want to separate and highlight a structure in the canyon. It does give a feel of depth, which is nice. Your comp guides me through the all of the nooks and crannies. Very well done.

Very nice Jared! Super cool colors and I like the light. I think your comp worked out nice too. It does look a little soft in the lower left corner and like Harry I would prefer it sharp overall. That may have been you intention anyways and it does work nice just as is. Nice job!

This is a very solid composition Jared. I think your processing is very effective here, and I really like how you kept the shadow tone nice and dark. Many people these days are compelled to show detail though out the shadows, but this often results in a muddy looking shot. My only suggestion would be to crop or clone out the small lip of sandstone that appears half way up the right edge of the photo.

Great shapes, lines, textures, and color. Beautiful composition - well done Jared. I see no real need for improvement - looks great as is to me.
