The Big Picture

This intimate landscape was taken in roughly the same location as my previous two posted microcosms. The exact vantage point for those two is just behind and to the left of the vantage point for this composition. It would be my guess that the puddles and wet mud and dry mud in this wash in east Zion are the result of flash flooding that occurred in September.

I like this. The eye has a path to follow and the picture has a story to tell.

I've really enjoyed your latest shots, Jim. The peeling mud here is wonderful. Very nice.

I like the varied textures and the sweeping lines. Works for me.

The comp is very strong, and the details in the peeling mud canyon walls look great.
