I am interested in your comments. Thank you for your time. Dan

The first score was a 3 for aesthetics. Really? Always open to suggestions. Dan

Beautiful colors of landscape against the desert blue skies. Definetly not a 3/3 Has the look of a painting.

Thanks Joan. Dan

De tan real que es, parece una ventana a ese lugar.

Babel fish translation of Antonio's comment: "Of so real that it is, it seems a window to that place." Thank you Antonio for your very kind comment. Dan

Great color, incredible DOF.

I don't think you could have done better! You have a gift to be able to take pictures like this.

Thank you Les and James. Your kind comments are appreciated greatly. Dan

I Like it very much. Quite unique and fresh perspective of canyonlands. nice contrasts, good shadows and beautiful composition.

Shot very impressive. Great colors, focus and light. Very originally. I love this shoot a lot. Very well done Dan! Congrats.

Lalit and Mauro, thank you for your kind comments. The landscape and the colors in southern Utah are amazing. I will have to go back. Thank you again. Dan

Dan, this is superb. I don't think the lighting, colours composition could be better. Outstanding. It must look great in mono as well with all those different tones.

Thank you for your comments David. It is funny. I often prefer B&W images, but this one didn't work out as well as I hoped it would. I preferred the color version.

Superb composition and wonderful colors. It almost looks 3 dimensional on my screen. Well done! Regards, Barb :)

Fantastic shot Dan.

Barb and Mikel, thank you for your kind comments. You are both very generous. Thank you again. Dan

Beautiful, excellent and great. I like the balance of colours and the shadows. Congratulations, Dan. Regards.

great colors!

Great colors, lighting, detail and perfect composition.

Beautiful SouthWest image, it's so good to look at this when it's all cold and snowy outside now. Beautiful composition, very clear throughout.

Dan, I like the colors, but I would like to see less contrast (especially since you used the 5D). The shadows should hold a litle more detail instead of being so dark (almost black). Sorry, but it just screams DIGITAL as it is....

 

Just my 2-cents worth,

Tex (Charles), thank you for your comment. I do agree with what you said, except this was, in fact, the look I was going for. The strong contrast, to my eye, brings a emotional harshness. Now, you could be correct that reducing the contrast would make it more aesthetically pleasing. I played with it, but this version had the emotion that I was looking for. As always, I am probably wrong, and I very much appreciate your comment. It is nice to have a dialog about these things. Thanks again. Dan

Bold, colorful and composed with balance and harmony! Well done! Doug

Great composition and wonderful subject!
