Canyon Tapestry

Ooo wonderful whimsical colors and texture! ( I just like saying whimsical ;)

I thought the background was a reflection. A superb juxtaposed landscape.

John - The mix of textures and horizontal branches contrast nicely with the vertical rock. The organic feel of the tree and the stone play well against each other.

John, I really like this capture. To be honest it gave me a slight head spin here. The composition has almost a look of a vertical image laid to the left, if that makes any sense. It must be just the way the tree is jetting in from the side or something. In fact, I think if it was rotated 90 to the right it would take a few seconds to figure things out. What a neat effect. Maybe just me on that view so to speak, but everything else is dead on so just a really neat shot.

Great colors and nice vertical designs on the wall. I like the colors with softened tones. Well done. Chet

Beautiful pastels John. Also agree with Paul that it seems to defy orientation. Nicely done.

This is stunning, John. What a great mix of colors and lines in this scene. It took me a few seconds to figure out what I was actually viewing.

John, This looks wonderful to me, and especially looking at your larger version. I also see what Paul was seeing and think it is a very cool effect in this image. So enjoy looking at this with the nice soft color, great lines and textures!

I like this a lot John. The colors, textures, and patterns create the sense of an abstract pattern. Great find!

John, I also thought this was tipped on it's side, very nice indeed, really like the subtle colors, light and presentation. Beautiful work.

Beautiful scene John with such beautiful pastels. The comp is just great with the verticals and tree. I too was a little disoriented at first. Just a beautiful scene here and beautifully done.

The contrasts of color and texture are the easily recognized stars of this show. Love the red/green combo, and the horizontal/vertical lines. Outstanding eye to see and compose this so well, too.

Nice composition, Great play of texures and colors.

love it

great contrast & colors

nicely done

Lovely comp and color palette, John.

Nice colours and texture

I like the simplicity, tones convey tranquility, parabens ....

This is a beautiful image, with such lovely colors and lines. Just the right amount of canyon wall showing. Love the delicate green branches.

Hi John The colors and form convey a magical mood here

Thanks everyone! This is a bit of a different photo for me, and I appreciate the feedback.

It's interesting that several mentioned it was hard to orient. I never thought of it that way, partly because I saw the full scene, but also because growing up in AZ I know the vertical streaks are caused by water flowing down the canyon walls when it rains. It's wonderful to be in these canyons when a thunderstorm hits; there is all of a sudden a plethora of waterfalls. (Until the flash flood comes, then not so wonderful...)

Great combo of lines and popping colors. Great colors and striping on the wall. I like this a lot!

Sweet combination of colors and texture. this one is just splendid!

Well titled, and very interesting mix of sandstone varnish and greenery, John.

Gorgeous, John. The juxtaposition of lines and forms, as well as the contrasting reds and green, really make this an exquisite image.

Nice pastel take on this wall in WF

Extremely strong composition IMO John. Also, a wonderful combination of colors and textures. Superb John.
