Ivin's Glyphs
This is a set of images I made last fall down in southern Utah. My goal was to capture the glyphs with a sense of the surrounding topography. I would be anxious to read your critiques of how I might improve their presentation. Thanks for commenting.

Very nice inclusion of the petroglyphs as part of the landscape. I especially like #2 and #3.

I've visited Snow Canyon, but was not aware of this nearby site.

Glad you decided to try a new approach to shooting these 'glyphs. I think that it worked real well!

The warm light really brings out the petroglyphs. Very nice!

Very nice work on all of them!

Nice work on all these, but I especially like the first 3. I'm thinking you could also go for a more artist interpretation with a B&W conversion and some selective dodging and burning. Good stuff.

Very cool stuff....also looks pretty unique for petroglyph shots. Very hard to choose a favorite. I like the last three best though.
