One more before I head to the Gorge. Looking for any critiques before it goes to print.

Thanks for your input, much appreciated!

Beautiful, Justin. I love the light and comp. Feels like I'm there seeing this for real. The colors are wonderful, and I especially like the hint of blue showing through. Amazing texture and detail.

Looks like a great print!

Nice one Justin. I like the symmetry you managed to find here. The ground in the bottom keeps drawing my eye, and I would probably burn that area a little myself.

No critique from me Justin - it's a wonderful shot. I've never been in a slot canyon but the colours look very pleasing and natural.
btw how wide would you say this is across? - just curious.

Can't think of any advice on this. Print it!

Such a beautiful little canyon

IMO there is not enough contrast here - the shadows in the folds of sandstone have been all but lost, and it's those shadows that really give the canyon depth and drama. I also think the color palette is a little too magenta/blue.. but that might be due to the different time of year/lighting compared to when I saw it (when it was much warmer in color).

Looks good, Justin. Can't think of anything I'd change.

"Zebra Canyon" - great name Justin :) Great light and colours! Not sure if there is anything to critique here so can't say anything apart from that I really like it!

You had some fine light here, but I agree with Floris in that the 'development' is a bit flat.

It looks very naturally processed, beautiful colours. However I suspect as others have mentioned that people might expect more pop versus more natural.

Another beauty Justin. I do agree with Floris that contrast seems to need a boost, but I'm on my uncalibrated work monitor, so take that with a grain of salt. Lovely colors and light.

Interesting perspective and composition, I went right to the bottom of the image to see if there was enough room to walk through the canyon. For me, the colors and contrast work fine, every slot canyon image does not have to have flaming colors, well seen.

I like the colors as they are. No need to change anything IMO.

I like the black nubby things on the left, makes you wonder what they are.

Was just here again the other day and it was full of mud AGAIN!

Nice job here. Maybe a little more contrast and color variation.

Otherwise it looks nice.
