I love the adventure of finding new formations and locations. This balancing rock is one location I have never seen anyone at, even after 30 trips.

Have fun out there! ✌🏼

Very nice! I like the soft colors and the simplicity of the subject. The rock says, "Behold, here I am!"

I LOVE how there is nothing to use a reference for size. No vegetation, no water, absolutely nothing that your brain can recognize and then use for scale.

I honestly have no idea if this thing is massive! or the normal size rock you'd find next to a stream.

Wow, I have not seen or heard of this balancing rock before. It reminds me of the Golden Rock in Burma:

Beautifully captured, Mark!

Great shot Mark! It is something special, for me at least, to photograph scenes without hoards of other people. When you find unique gems like you have found and don't have to stand in line to get a photo that is exactly the same as thousands of other photos, imo that is what landscape photography is all about!


Well done!

I love the depth in this image. I love how the detail in 'the rock' dominates. Colors in sky are soothing, clouds are dramatic and 'the rock' is bold. The fact that it sit precariously like this is amazing! It looks like in time that it may multiply itself into many more rocks.

Sweet!
Karl

This is awesome, Mark. The more I view the work of top-notch landscape photographers, the more I'm drawn to simplicity of compositional elements combined with great light. this one checks all the boxes!

[Huge thank you!



Thank you very much!


I too love the solitariness here! Such an incredible place to photograph. The rock is maybe 5 feet tall? Not exactly sure, but not small.

Thank you so much. I have never seen it photographed to tell you the truth. There is SO MUCH in the SW most never see!

Thank you Karl. Yeah, the sandstone dissolves and does weird things out there in the SW!

Thank you so much, Dave. I feel the same way about simplicity. Actually always have. When simple can be powerful, that is usually something that amazes me most. I'm trying to do that with my new Waves motif. Simple but powerful.

Mark, awesome photo! Beautiful hues and image depth. Now, are you sure this isn't really a chuck of brownie? Maybe I'm just hungry.
