p.1 #1 · Finding Winter Inspiration at Zion National Park

Congratulations to Ross Martin for winning Feature Thread of the Week with 7 votes - View Previous Winners

A year ago I was at the height of my personal anxiety level, partly due to the effects of the pandemic. My wife encouraged me to hit the road for photographic therapy so a few days before Christmas I packed our camp trailer and drove west. Zion was one of my primary destinations but I had only shot there during vibrant autumn and spring previously, so was hoping winter would still reveal beauty to my eyes. Thankfully I did find great inspiration wandering the canyons and delighting in the graphic quality of bare cottonwoods, colorful rock walls, and more.

Wishing each one of you a peaceful and joyful season!

All the best,
Ross

Strong, beautiful images, all. But the second one is special and to me stands out for its original take.

Well done! Beautiful compositions. I like them all, but the lighting on the foreground trees in the second one is amazing.

Ross, I would say that these photographs would certainly release any anxiety you may have had in Ohio. Great imaging!

Thanks Jung! I�m glad to hear you like that bare aspen image, they are one of my favorite tree species.

Great set, my favourite is the last one, the contrast between the bare tree and the red(ish) rock wall makes a stunning image for me...

Thanks fotofoow! I had backlighting behind the trees and reflected glow off canyon walls on front of the trees - I was loving that!
