Another Painted Hills Photograph
I know this is just another typical photograph of the Painted Hills, but my son and I enjoyed going there for the first time. Thanks for the advice about staying at the Oregon Hotel in Mitchell.

Nikon D200, 80-400mm @ 310mm, 1/80 @ f/9.

That Oregon Hotel will soon be known as the photographers Hotel. This shot showcases everything there is to love about the main formations. Nice perspective here, Richard.

Wonderful abstract! I love the repeating patterns, nice processing as well.

One of my favorites I have ever seen from the painted hills. Excellent theme and repetition. Nice work with the color, it's not over saturated like so many from here.

It might be a bit overall too red but the processing and comp are excellent.

I have a similar comp that I shot at 200mm with my 80-200. I wish I had the extra reach when photographed it. It makes for a nice repeating effect as Andy said. I think it's Excellent!

I love the warm, sharp feel of this.

This is nice, Richard - not at all "pedestrian" in looking like the usual shots of the Painted Hills. I like the degree of saturation - powerful and the reds are a real focal point for the image. The light areas in the extreme lower right corner are a little distracting, and maybe could be burned a bit to de-emphasize them.

Very nicely framed and beautiful colors throughout
