Recently went hiking (and partially bushwhacking) in a canyon in SE Utah and stumbled upon this infrequently visited granary. Two things really caught my eye...the 30' deep recessed alcove that it was built into was amazingly rich in detail, and the door was offset from the center, which I have rarely seen.
Probably my last hike in this country 'til summer ends as it was 95° when I exited, making the bushwhacking section a real chore.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated! Compression was unholy to get it into spec., so please try and overlook those flaws. Thanks!
Whoa! To say that it is rick in detail is quite an understatement. This image has so many flowing lines, cracks and captivating details, it's hard to take it all in! Great find, and image. TFS!
So many compositional possibilities in this scene. No nits on the processing. My initial impression is that it is cropped a little close to the bottom on the granery.
That’s magnificent John. Just love the spooky hand print. BTW, is that a true handprint, or a painting of one that appears huge! Or is there a bit of corner wide angle distortion happening?
Thanks, folks.
I agree that the bottom is cropped a bit too close to the granary itself, but it was pretty unappealing down there.
The handprint was created by placing the hand upon the wall and then the artist blowing a plant based pigment through some sort of straw-like instrument over the hand, creating what's called a 'negative handprint', as opposed to dipping the hand in the pigment and just making a mark.
Probably just a bit of distortion and the wide angle perspective in general combine to make it look huge, when in fact...it's just the size of a handprint.

Your processing really enhances the wonderful rock textures.
do you ever give out locations or is it bad form to even ask?
