Since I haven't shot since Christmas, I went digging through the archives. Reworked this shot from White Pocket 3/17/09. CC welcome. Thanks! D300, Sigma 10-20mm @ 10mm. F13.
Wonderful image. The clouds even cooperated with you. They seem to have the same swirling motion as the rock feature. Great light and great color.

The brainrock in the foreground is nice and bold. Good comp and lighting. That the foreground is not lit helps the eyes move up to the red swirl still in sunlight.

Joshua, I like this very much! Love the swirl in the rock. Great warm light really makes the shot!

Well done composition. Great foreground and light.
I've only spent a half day at White Pocket, and it was definitely a sensory overload.
It was a pleasure meeting you at the Shindig.

Love this comp, probably the best shot I've seen from White Pocket .

It's great to see a unique composition from this area. I really like how the nearly monotone foreground leads my eye right to an explosion of color and past, to that neat 'brainrock hill' and the nice skies. Almost looks like the colors are being contained by a moat of sorts!
Well seen, composed and captured, Joshua!
Thanks much everyone for the great positive feedback!
As Bill noted, White Pocket is almost too much to process at once, there are shots all over the place. I dubbed this formation the washing machine.
My M.O. for there is to drive out in the afternoon, shoot sunset, camp there overnight, and then get up and shoot sunrise. I was shut out there this summer from rain, so it's on the revenge list.
