Hole in the Roof (With Color Version)
A sandstone dome in Monument Valley with a natural chimney in the roof. I like the lines and textures here. A very blank sky. Does the bright sky provide too much of a distraction here? Composition work?
Conversion in channel Mixer!
Thanks for any comments

At first I thought it was a wood knot hole. I sorta like it but I think I'd like it more in color.

wow, that's crazy with the designs in the rock, and i like the placement of the hole, Mike. I, too, would like to compare a color version.

I like it Mike, looks like the eye of a monster.

They're both nice but I prefer the color version.

Mike, the color really helps here. Nice tonality changes.
