This one, i have no idea. I got interested in the flow of lines from top to down and tafoni rocks, so composed this way.

May be its that Anil's "Naked Desires" inspired me (which, i saw long long time ago).

Nikon D70, 18-70mm Kit lens, 36mm, f11, 1/30s, ISO200.

Let me know your comments.

Thanks,
Murali

Murali,

Great forms, lines and tones in this. What wonderful formations! I can see the lines and flow and why you chose the vertical format and I can't really question that. Not being there, I'm wondering what was left and right for a horizontal as well. The dark, URC seems a little out of place, but certainly not distracting.

Great job of isolating these formations. Well done, very nice image.

thanks Lon !!

I do not remember what exactly around it. But, i just got very confused with so many formation.

Above is Anil's work, gives a better idea about the place.

Very nice Murali....
for some reason the B&W doesn't move me here...
I think I would like a little warmth in it, instead of the cold feeling..
maybe a tad of Sepia or something?
Just a thought....
Like the lines and textures tho...
Looks like a fun location to work

in gratitude,
Nelcha
