The Wave

Thanks for the comments.

This is very unique place on Earth, only 10 people are allowed to go there a day and 10 lucky others have to wait for the lottery results day before at ranger station.

In comparison how big the Wave is here is link to photo with the scale (person in the wave):

Very interesting photo. I love all the lines and curves. Colors and comp are great but I think it could be better without the contrails. Well done flynn.

Thanks for comments. The contrails on the sky are made by planes and that was how I photographed this place. In ideal world may be we can think if it is better or not and you are right, but to capture The Wave in this weather and be lucky to get there is for me a great accomplishment. Some people I mate there had to wait 5 years to get the permit.I don't do any changes in Photoshop which would alter the original capture. Only the usual minor adjustments like contrast and sharpness. So contrails are there.

Good shot. I think I like the contrails. Where is it?

Makes my eyes wonder and wander all over the photograph. Love the lines on earth and the skies!

Excellent details and POV! Thanks for sharing.

Your style of curved lines being reflected between sky/ground, foreground/background or top/bottom works so well! Especially in this series of national parks, it gives a feeling of being at one with the the world and every element of the landscape and intergral part. However I am not sure how strong this nature in harmony message can be when the clouds are so obviously created by aeroplanes! Anyway it makes a good photo!

Lucy: I like your comment and I can see your point about pristine landscapes and fact that cloud trails on the sky are made by planes. All I can tell is that especially location of this place - The Wave is so unique and untouched that even plane trails in the sky wont change the overall feeling and attitude. You are also right about the elements - we all are made from them and be able to experience display of true nature elements in a way like it is in US National Parks is amazing. Something like watching great documentary - Planet Earth from BBC. Thanks again for sharing your opinion.

beautiful tone...........

Beautiful composition and colors. I'd love to be there to see it personally.
