After spending the last year climbing, skiing and shooting adventure photos exclusively, I was itching to take some landscape photos. Anyhow, I just got back from a photo trip to Utah/Arizona (with Jody). Please let me know what you do/don't like about the images. Personally, I like the first image the best.

Quite a haul ... a lot of really good images Scott. I really like the kiss of light in #519. I'm hard-pressed to come up with a "don't like". Just a lot of DO.

What I like are the fresh perspectives on some oft visited locations.
Some really fine compositions, and what great light you had!
#519 seems to lack contrast (postprocess?), but that's a minor observation.
#513 is my favorite because of the contrast between the sensuous curving walls and that laser straight angled beam of light.

Really nice collection of images, Scott. I'm not a big fan of slot canyon shots, but I really dig the lines in #515. Good work.

Great variety in that collection! My faves are 519 and 514. Oh, and 512. And the rest.
Man, that's an impressive range of work! I too, like the lead-in - yellow Indian grass? And #511 really grabbed me with the thin ribbon of water running through bedrock and fallen leaves. Sweet! Oh, and all the rest too - great work, Scott!

FYI (I hope you don't mind me telling you this...it's the English teacher in me talking), but on your website under "About Scott's Equipment" the word "filter" is misspelled...it shows up as "filer". Again, I'm an English teacher so I notice these things from all my years of editing essays...just thought I'd let you know.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Justin, thanks for pointing that out.

All of them are excellent, but 515 gets my color mojo going.
All are great but I really like the soft lighting of Bryce Canyon. I have never been there, but usually I see pictures with alot more contrast than this image which to me makes it unique. Nice work.

That's a very pleasing set of images. I'd be happy to claim to have taken any one of them. I love the subtle Bryce shot (first light or pre-dawn?) and both of the Colorado River shots, but all of them are excellent!

A very nice collection but if I had to select one for my wall it would be #524. I'm a sucker for cracked dirt/mud.
