Jeff, as always these Hoodoo formations make excellent subjects for photographic work. These formations can be found throughout the southwestern states and in fact I found several years ago right in Capitol Reef NP. Although on a return trip a few years later a couple had lost their tops.....
The colors, exposure, and all technical look spot on. Although the composition is a bit busy I kinda like the in your face up close take here. The larger spiral looks like it may have just lost it's hat or lid. Not sure what to call those flat rocks that protect these and obviously lead to the life cycle of the pillars overall. A truly neat find wherever this site might actually be located in UT..........

Beautiful image. Great colors and textures. Composition and processing look spot on. My only wish is for a larger version.

I have found a few of these alcoves, Jeff, and almost everyone of them was notoriously difficult to photograph. i like what you have here. Too bad the big guy front and center is missing his capstone. Nice detail and great job giving us the feel of the place.

Very nice how you captured the different stages of these hoodoos; intact, on their way down, and already down. My only suggestion would be to maybe burn the big hoodoo a little.... But this is fine as is!

These are some fine hoodoos, Jeff. The main group of 4 works well and is set off so nicely by the shapes and colors in the back. I do find myself wondering about a vertical emphasizing the two main hoodoos and the reddish area behind. In the mid-90s work took me to Dugway three years running and I did get to explore a little bit. You do have a very interesting "big back yard".

Nice balance to this image, Jeff. Some fascinating geology for sure.

Hi Jeff,
I like the study in geology, and the shapes of the rock formations are very interesting. I appreciate how everything looking so crisp and clean, and the details are great in this capture. I like the idea Mark has with a vertical take with the red rock behind the Hoodoo rocks.
