I went to Roxborough yesterday to enjoy all the Spring greens and red rocks. This is one of the strangest formations there imo. It did remind me of a group bowed in prayer.
Comments and critiques always welcome, and thanks for looking,
Beautiful! Morris, I really admire your ability to distill complex, detail-rich scenes into comps that feel perfect and inevitable. My eye just keeps moving all over this one and never getting bored.
Well said, Jackson! He put into words how I feel about your most recent work.
The title really works well here in evoking that imagery, which I may have not seen otherwise.
Your 'development' is pitch perfect, too.
If I didn't know any better, I would think that you were gaining a style of photography all your own.
And that's a great thing, amigo.
Well, John and Jack, I am very humbled that you both would think that is even possible. And, Jackson and I have already been discussing that a lack of resources to visit the icons, which I yearn to do, is quite restrictive to anything but exploring opportunites close to home. If that, at some point, is instrumental in development of a personal style, then I would, obviously, be grateful for those frustrating restrictions. Thank you, very much!
Pam, you are kind as usual.
Thanks, Richard, you would like this awe inspiring place.

Lots of character and the spring greens are looking good. Very nice Morris!
As usual Morris just keeps finding interesting comp while all of us just walk on by... Unaware of your color preferences, I'll just throw out a quick idea, how about a tweak on the greens for fun? The following might really make the image Pop with a Spring feel. Selective color: green slider- reduce Magenta, possibly add cyan. Yellow slider; reduce yellow a tad.
BTW, I feel a bit uncomfortable recommending color tweaks to one of the best photographers I know.....
I will take that as high praise coming from the top landscape photographer in Colorado as per "100 Summits." And, there is a strong case to be made for that! But, I feel you may have overshot the mark a bit with your compliment. And, don't feel uncomfortable about recommending any improvements to my images at any time, Kane. I will put all of your suggestions to work, and I will most likely be very pleased with the results. Thank you for your kind comments.
And, thank you Bret and Jeff!

Morris, this seems to fit the golden ratio triangle you mentioned in a prior post.
Doug, it might be there just because it's so prevalent in nature. I didn't consciously include it in the comp. Thanks for the reminder to look more closely for it.
