I'd like to see a tighter crop on the marvelously translucent-looking hoodoos, but I can't see that there's anything that you could easily toss out on any side of this frame. It works well! Dave
I agree with Dave. I might try to crop off the small light hoodoo on the left. For me, that would strengthen the image by centering the wonderfully lit ones in the middle.
I love the light in this and the way you isolated the bright ones against the darker surroundings. A gorgeous image!

I get shivers looking at the image, how it must have looked in person. Did it persist for long? I know I would have been scrambling to not lose this scene if it were me. mike
Cool shot. I think the idea about cropping is good. Might want to consider giving that bright patch in the middle a little shadow burn, 2% or so, just to bring out the contrast and texture a little.

As I recall, the suns angle lasted only a few minutes. Yes, Bryce is full of opportunities for finding unusual lighting. Thanks Mlenny!
That lighting is totally awesome. Great job on the capture.
Bryce makes me smile every time I see a picture from it. My brother and I went in the middle of a Rain/Snowstorm. Cold out of our mind. But so wonderful to see the hoodoos as well.
I really like this picture as it is. The wonderful glow follows it's own path and picks out the hoodoos almost randomly to light up. They are like glowing embers and each has a different intensity that contrast so well with the equally varied shaded hoodoos. I like the way the light also picks out the trees at the back and the black tops of some of the darker hoodoos. The picture is a delight because you can see more and more as you look at it; and you can only wonder at Nature, in it's creation of such a place.
Love that light! Great job here. Ute brings up an intesting thought about that hoodoo being lit on the left side. Cropping is one option, but what if you simply darkened that area a bit?

Thanks Martin for your remarks. I also like the intricacies and randomness that nature provides. The idea of cropping the left would work to keep ones eye from wandering, keeping the tallest, (unlit), hoodoos to help frame the image. But the trees really add an interesting element in such a raw and barren enviro.
