Marble Canyon, Death Valley.

For the weekly challenge. The colors were quite muted. Enhancing then further would not be faithful.

Raw file processed in LR5, with TK resize/sharpening for web.
Canon T3i, 1/8 s, f/11, ISO 200, EF 24-105 mm @ 24 mm, CPL

Please view the large image!

Seeking any and all advice and comments. Thanks in advance.

I don't think this needs color enhancement, Ronald. The pattern is very striking. I was thinking clam shell from the thumb...clearly wrong. I like that you've got what looks like a big dip llc and kept it all sharp.

Ronald, I like and appreciate your keeping the look as close to original as you recall things. No harm in the muted look at all, seems to provide more thought to the actual patterns instead of a glaring color. Looks good to me...... :cool:
