Trickle Down

Wonderful image, Gary. The layers of light and dark, and great shadow patterns really set this image apart. I can see why it's one of your favorites (one of mine as well).

This is just flat out a masterpiece. Don't know what else to say; I am in awe.

I'm going with Wayne's "masterpiece" Gary. Don't think I can improve on that description.

I too will echo Wayne's characterization, an incredible masterpiece, Gary. The dynamic movement of line and form, not to mention the stunning tonality, make this one awe inspiring image. Exquisite.

Outstanding, Gary. Superb combination of patterns, light, shadows, and textures.

Classic B+W of tone, texture and light.

gary, in two words: love it.

Wonderful lines and abstract quality. Not sure I would try to change anything. Lots to explore here.

Gary, this is a really nice image. A favorite characteristic is that no matter how long I look it over, it's difficult to determine its scale (e.g., is the scene 100 yards wide or a half mile mile wide?). Also, I like the straight-on view draws my eyes up each ridge and ravine.

The large image is just mesmerizing. Should be big and on the wall.

I agree about the foreground. It makes a great contrast with the upper portions of the frame. Love the black and white presentation too. I can't find anything to critique at all. Really fantastic shot!

Beautiful light, shapes and tones. This is excellent, Gary!!!

This is gorgeous. Love the play of light and shadow. Fantastic

Geez you just killed this Gary. Best B&W I've seen in a long time. Awesome work here.

Superb all around! I like the title too.

This is very nice Gary, I find it quite intriguing. As mentioned the play of light is just terrific. I would also like to see a colour version of this if you have one.

Cheers, Gary.

A favorite for me too, Gary! Wonderful b&w processing and the large version is just wonderful to look at.

what can I say if not...wonderful...spectacular...

Gary,

Wow look at those tones, this capture has a beautiful elegance about it. Then play of the light and shadow is sweet, and the shapes could keep you exploring for a good long while.

Outstanding work in photography

My Kudos, just terrific, Gary.
I don't know how you achieved this "flat", 3d looking range?
Excellent eye as usual...

That's a wonderful cascade of sharply defined erosion channels, Gary. I'm really enjoying how they end in the softer rounded hills at the bottom and finally the flat area that looks like a stream bed. The varying brightness at the bottom adds additional interest.

The textures in this are amazing, almost as though I could feel them through my computer screen. The lights and darks are spot on. Wonderful capture.

Favorite indeed! This is exquisite, Gary. I love the drama with the lighting along with all the wonderful layers in this scene. Print this baby and hang it on the wall. Great work.

This has it all; tones, textures, beautiful graphic composition,

Very interesting. I like how the monochrome treatment brings out the light and texture.

Splendid image here, Gary. Overall you've got this area of Utah dialed in and it shows up with such stunning scenes like we see here with this one. Of course it does take a bit of "nature" to kick in at the right time too with the excellent light to improve upon your anticipated photographic endeavor.
I love this area of Utah and hope to make a trip to Hanksville and shoot the locale in the near future. Seems like I'm always passing through here and never enough time to take it all in.

This is amazing good and my favorite image on the page right now. Powerful presence!!!

Excellent contrast, details, and depth Gary.
The light from the side was key, awesome image

congrats Gary!!!

Hey Gary,
Great title for an outstanding image.
Congratulations on the WP . . .

Congrats on the WP, Gary, well deserved for this piece of art.

Gary: Spiked my -meter on this one! The larger version is just spectacular. Would love to explore this as a large print. Good photography! >=))>

Now that .... is an incredible image. So inspiring. This is one for the museum walls.
