The Horseshoe
Home with the flu and reworked this image from years ago...Some diffused sunlight came through and brightened the foregroud a little.

Oooo, I love the colors in the river and rocks! I've seen several versions from here on ESS lately with really dramatic skies, but I think I like this even more.

Y'know...so do I! Some real nice light, and the flowers are a nice touch. Hope you get well real soon, Joe!

This looks great to me as well. Nice sky, good contrasting colors between the oranges and greens.

Joe, I like the gradient of light from front to back. I too like the darker clouds on the horizon as they do not compete with the red and orange sandstone like a colorful sunset does. Night light in Marble Canyon to show the rock, water depth, and green algae and riverside vegetation. Very nice!

This is awesome, Joe. One of the best I've seen from this location and since it's on 4x5 you'll be able to make a HUGE print. Nice!

Gorgeous, Joe. The colors, and your processing are just amazing.

I love it, I love it, I love it!! The teal in the water just strikes me.

This is really sweet. Great color saturation from the cloudy light and great sky. Really nice!!

I wish mine had problems like this you mentioned :wink:
Very nicely done and I think it would make an awesome larger, very large print :smile:
