Red Rocks Of Zion

Cross bedding - nature at work

Alec, I like the textures and the tones. By the way did you get a chance to do any night photograph at this place? I watched a video recently on night photography and the location that was used was similar to what you used here. Made for some great work.

 

Nice work as always Alec.

Maybe it's just the ntaural location, but I'm thrilled.

Nice photograph Alec. I like the texture and color; the sweeping lines add interest. Regards.

very beautiful picture!!! Nice colour!!!

Very Nice Alec, I like the texture and colours too. And to me it is kind of original. :o)

 

DK.

 

Wow, what a neat place! Good composition & interesting textures. I'd like to see what it looks like later or earlier in the day for less harsh lighting.

Subject is definitely interesting. I too would like to see this same shot at a later period in the day with less harsh light. Beautiful location.

Great location. Very well composed

Considering the light, this is handled very well, Alec. But, I kinda like the harshness of the light 'cuz this is a harsh place to live....

Thanks guys for stopping by, didn't expect to create so much interest in this image.

 

Amar, didn't have time to explore or camp out there as we were travelling through, perhaps another time.

 

Michael, Walter, Francesco, Adolfo, David, I was enchanted by the raw beauty of nature there. It's truly remarkable.

 

Karen, Dennis, Joe I have to underexpose 1 to 2 stops to get it right due to the harsh afternoon light. I am sure it will look better in the early morning or during the magical twilight time.

The composition and colours are superb. Quite an interesting perspective of this beautiful famous place.

Hi Alec - I'm jealous. Shot this same scene the end of April, also in the afternoon, but from a vantage point not quite as high as yours, and while snow was falling heavily. Mine went into the trash heap. :-(

 

Zion and the other Southern Utah parks are truly amazing... looks like a completely different world. You captured the layering of the rocks very well here!

Glen, how can you be envious? I should be - after seeing your truly wonderful compositions. You make nature come alive. The crisp clarity and exposures are truly admirable. Nice going.

Yes, it has a high defination texture and color.

It has a sense of mascunility yet beauty got

it's hold too. Thanks Alec for photos like

yours, it's up-lifting for the senses.

 

Kind regards,sally

Although I remember your previous red rock image being more abstract, this one is nice in the way that it gives sense of scale by including trees and cliff face (which reminds me of elephant skin!) Nice composition and good color. I like it. ^_^

Thanks Sally, Wilson. Yes I did sent an image of the two rocks previously and this larger composition puts it into perspective.
