Curves and Holes
Heres a shot from Antelope Canyon taken this last May. Perhaps hard to ingest another slot canyon image, but I liked this one. I took hundreds from in there, but little inspired me to process them.

Very nice, Rick. Try adjusting your WB way down into 2500 or fluorescent range in your RAW conversion to see if you picked up those blues and purples often seen in AC shots. Maybe that will inspire you to process a few more. I really like this comp and would like to see it in broader color spectrum.

I totally agree with Craig. The color depth isn't exciting me in this one, but the composition is interesting....except maybe that shadow dark spot up top without much texture.

Rick,
Since I've never been there I can't really comment on the fine colors. What I can say is that I really like it. The curves and shapes really are cool!

I love the curves and shapes but also would like more depth to the color range.... cool the temp and have fun :cool:

Yeah, work that color temp.

You really arranged the elements in this comp well and the textures are sweet.

Rick, this one is very luminous and beautiful. The texture is awesome. If you could get other colors out of this like they say above, then I bet it could be even better, but it's gorgeous as is.
