mark_thatcher1 0 Posted August 19, 2008 Powerful and beautiful. Love the textures and the composition. My eye dances all over this photo and I love it. Noted the rain in the background - really exquisite. Link to comment

anish 0 Posted August 20, 2008 The B&W treatment looks great on the sky, but the contrast may be a little extreme on the foreground canyon (especially the highlights) - just my take. And I realize this is a philosophical argument, but I'm not a big fan of stretched/distorted versions of natural locations. This looks like it was compressed horizontally to fit the square format. I'm not sure how others feel about this issue. Anish Link to comment
mozgur 0 Posted August 21, 2008 Thank you all for your comments. Anish, the contrast on the famous white-rim is very high, perhaps higher than what I will eventually use. I've traveled to this location twice (from east coast) since last winter, after seeing potential for a good composition. The initial set did not work to my satisfaction. Last month, I tried twice under different light. This one is the only promising set I got. If it is not clear already, my work does not end with the pseudo-realistic pursuit of traditional landscape photography. The reality is one my starting points. It is not my goal to make compositions that can be repeated endlessly by simply by owning a camera. It not my goal to have unattainably real or imaginary fantasy landscapes. All I want is to have pieces that will give me sense of pleasure when I look at them on my wall, nothing more. cheers. Link to comment
harrylichtman 0 Posted August 21, 2008 The storm clouds makes this a unique shot. B&W treatment is also a plus. My eye travels along the bright ouline of the canyon to the clouds, beautifullly done. Rgards, Harry Link to comment
