I like it a lot. I always prefer to see a little ground in the slot canyons to anchor the eye and give a little perspective. Nice job!

A canyon shot from Eva - that's something different. Love the way you split the comp in three parts enlclosing the center area. The light is lovely and I agree with Mark that including the ground works well here.

Very nice Eva, I like the darker parts on both sides. I'd prefer to see a bit more ground though, or nothing at all.

Where's the water?

Anyhow, ive seen so many Antelope shots i think it would take one with a couple errant moose and maybe a rainbow to really impress me, but this is pretty nice--and it may be the first non-saturated shot ive seen from there

Certainly something a little different from you! I like this a lot Eva. I like the textures and highly visible lines on the walls, and the fact that it's not so overly saturated. Great shadow detail as well.

Very nice, Eva. The light and color looks really good to me. I also like that you included some ground in this shot.

Lovely composition with beautiful shapes and curves. I'm with Marsel but would prefer cropping out the ground altogether.

Yeah, cutting out the ground would make it more abstract and even better. Nice.

I've never seen anything like a south western slot canyon before. So I don't know, but this looks to me like the most literal presentation I can imagine of the place. It doesn't have the glow that so many of them have. But I sure like this very natural looking light and color as well. I also like the small amount of the floor you included.

This is a beauty Eva! I can almost feel the texture.

I agree with Stan here. I am glad to see something a bit different from the usual stream of images coming out of Antelope.

Beautiful shot Eva.
I can see a crop of the bottom sand keeping it more graphic

This is one of those really fun images where foreground and background are interchangeable and do change just looking at it. Neat stuff.

Gorgeous image with great clarity. Excellent color and the comp is just as good. I like it a lot!
