The photo stands out for me because it isn't over-saturated (as 99% of the images from Antelope Canyon(s) are), the colors chosen give it great depth, and the composition (to me) is flawless and merits the flowing adjective in the title. If I were pressed to nitpick I'd point at the dark area, upper left, but it's a minor nit. And it adds to the sweeping wave-like motion overall. I hope you've made a print of this and hung it for everyone to view. Fine work.

What I like:

—The layers, grass-to-forest-to-mountains and sky;

—Fine quality of light across the peaks.

What I don't like:

—The bluish color-cast in the mountain shadows (White Balance problem?);

—The flatness of tones overall, and in the dark forest especially;

—The inclusion of "too much" sky (alway a subjective choice for us, isn't it?), when that element isn't providing a great "Wow" factor;

—Lastly, the light hitting the mountains on the left and right edges of the frame, with only a small section of each visible, pulls my attention in two directions at once and is annoying...a change in the composition, one way or the other, "might" have eliminated this, and also provided more of the rich direct light in the scene.

With different post processing this should still be a shot you'll remember from a wonderful place.
