Noting quite like a slot canyon in Arizona to display all kinds of light. They also can be challenging to capture a scene and convey the light as one intended. Of course, in any canyon, handling the shadows properly can be challenging. I think I pulled it off, but would be curious on your thoughts.

Excellent all around. The colors, composition, lighting and all.

cool looking section of that slot and the processing looks great....i'd also try a square crop with the lower section minus the path

Wonderful composition and tones. A saturation mask to pull the reds back a little would make it even better, in my view.

Super image. For a place that's photographed so much, I think this is a great photo. It has very good sharpness and color. Everything looks just right.

It's fantastic, composition, light, color...the processing is just a bit too 'digital' smooth for me. Those slot canyons were some of my most memorable from our Out West trip many years ago.

Yea, those orange-reds are a bit vibrant, but I normally pump those up for web viewing.Thanks for the comment!

Yea, I thought about a crop and have several slot images with no ground showing already. Those turn out to be more of an abstract, which I also like. However, without the ground showing, many folks aren't sure what they are looking at.
Thanks for the comment!

I agree. For a place overly photographed, this looks GREAT and original! Very nice job!

I too would be tempted to take down overall saturation by 5-10 pts in Photoshops Color Layer Blend Mode (so tones/contrast does not change). Still beautiful as is!
