Strike Valley Overlook

I really like it Tony. For a "Grand Vista" landscape it has a very abstract feel. The colors jump off the monitor and the detail is superb, a hallmark of your work.

Tony, the variety and richness of colors are amazing. This is gorgeous. Each layer from the top down invites you to stop, explore, and then move on down to the next. I love it.

A little bite more pasytel than what I am used to seeing from you, but this works perfectley. A grand abstract. I especially love the blues on the upper talus.

Where is this place, the color looks like nothing I have ever witnessed on this earth!

Very nice processing, but is it too much ?

Quite a palette of pastels here Tony. I'd really like to see some focused shots on those hills on the top portion of the image. Looks like a plethora of patterns there.

Looks like a pizza with too many toppings :) Seriously this is really nice interpretation of the large landscape. Not sure whether it's up to the standards of your very best work, I'm not sure but it's very close.

Much different than your more intimate work, but just as strong. I personally would like to see the bottom cropped up to the beginning of the smaller out crop of rocks so it comes out from the corner. My other reason for wanting the crop is because the upper part of the image is much stronger and I feel like the bottom is lacking the same impact. Wonderfully done though!

Love the layers and amazing color variety and don't have a nit. I don't think every photo we post has to be over the top amazing. Beautiful is just beautiful IMO.

Tony - This is a color overload in a good way. Composition...schmomposition! It looks perfect to me.

Hi Tony,

great amazement for the panel of colors =O this location seems to be imposing wow and the abstrait here is good!!!

I think its awesome Tony. Almost like two shots though--the abstract top portion and the 'real' bottom portion. I can't say for sure whether they work together in one shot. But my gut tells me this works--so ill go with my gut!

Tony,

I like the variation in the textures, colors and lines from all over to horizontal to vertical. I think it is very nicely done. But then again I am biased to your work.

Although it may not be one of your best, I find it quite enjoyable to view.
The variations in the colors and textures are extraordinary. There are
also some great lines.

Certainly a different subject matter from your norm, but unmistakably your style. Wonderful colors here, the colors themselves have created some layers to enjoy. As you stated not one of your strongest images, but we all have these memory shots that we keep on file and return to every so often.
Nice work.

I think this is is wonderful. A very interesting image to me. I like the horz & vert combination of lines. This has great color and must be something to see. I agree with a small crop from the bottom. This is very nice to look at, and I like it alot.

Beautiful colors and perfectly processed as usual. When the image first came up on my iPad I could only see the upper 2/3rds of the image. After viewing the whole image I found that I kinda liked the initial view best. It might be because by removing the trees/shrubs from the bottom it becomes more abstract due to the loss of scale. A wonderful image either way.

Great color and beautifully composed Tony. I like it.

Kind of like an 18-layer cake Tony?? Wow, a bit of sensory overload. The "lay of the land" almost throws my eye off a bit as it slopes to the right, but the tremendous colors and the wonderful effect of how the detail gradually decreases as you go from FG to BG (top) really make it stand out for me. Thanks!!

Wow, not your usual fare at all, but still superb. So much to see here, and the varied and distinct colors really catch the eye. A wonderful grand scenic. The color of the distant mountains really strikes me. Great work Tony.

What a beautiful scene Tony
as usual, you look to the world from your unique vision

Great landscape abstract. Love, love, love the colors! Excellent in every way.

It's not as strong as your closeups but it is very nice.

So many different colors of the palette here, and so many wonderful layers and lines. This is a scene to revisit under many different varities of light.

Talk about getting every nuance out of a landscape. A very fascinating image.

I knew from the thumbnail that this would be nice. What more can I say, but that I love it. I'm sure you will re-live this moment many times over in the years to come.

Tony,

I think this is just as strong as much of your sandstone detail, all in terms of colors, patterns, texture, detail and layers. It's all there and I think this is wonderful. It has your saturation signature as well and while I don't think the saturation is overdone in the least, I am amazed at your ability and vision to pull colors from a scene; just amazing range of colors here. I think you could invent your own color space....

Another thing that really stands out for me with this image is how this looks like the "false miniature" photography that we sometimes see. The vegetation, trees and such don't just look small because they're probably far away with your zoom lens, but they look miniature to me - as if part of a model railroad landscape. For those who haven't seen "false miniature" photography, here's a WIKI example.

I love this Tony!

I think you have capture all the rianbow colors on this picture. Great color mixture.

Seb

I think this is very strong Tony! Best image or not, it is really really good!. Love all the colors and layers here.

If this was in the anonymous gallery, I'd have guessed someone else. It doesn't matter though. This is a great wider view of the landscape there. Someone mentioned every little nuance. I think that sums it up perfectly.

Chris

There is so much to look at, seems to be endless shapes and colors there. Awesome photo Tony.

Great layers and patterns within the landscape. Really nicely presented with a nice pastel feel to the shot.
