Antelope Canyon Color

Wow, this is absolutely crazy to look at. How saturated is this compared to the original?

Really like the blue to red going on here. Probably the most colorful canyon shot I have seen posted on this site.

Hi Enrique,
interesting to see the comparison. The composition is very strong and the color version works very well. But I must admit that the color intensity is borderline for me in this one. The colors are appealing, and the different tones work well for the scene. On the other hand it is the saturation and the colors that seem "unreal". I have been to slot canyons and of course I have not seen them in all kinds of different light, but I wonder whether it can ever get that blue and purple. However these are just my honest thoughts. I don't want to imply that tuning an image into a direction that feels good for the artist is not legitimate. But personally, I prefer the more understated look of the bw version.

Love the colours here. I prefer this to the BW but like Dietrich, I find the saturation borderline over-the-top. Wonderful shot.

I have to say that the colours aren't really working for me, either. Having been to Antelope myself and having seen a great many pictures from there, I have to say that the intensity of colour (esp. magenta) just seems wrong to my eyes. Of course, without the weight of expectation generated from all those other pictures, I might see this entirely differently...

If you pull back the magenta, I think you might just be able to get away with the saturated reds and oranges...

Plenty of color going on in this one, absolutely beautiful. Ron

I like the comp and light. I am finding the colors a little over the top for my tastes, though.

The colors ARE incredible and as a straight forward landscape they are a little over the top as others have mentioned, although quite beautiful. As a work of art however, I think it's fantastic. The tones, lines and overall compositon are very appealing to my eye and I want to stay and wander through the image. My only nit is the white area at LR. I might turn that another shade of magenta. I think your interpretation of the scene is bold and exciting.

I'd prefert to see less magenta and more warm earth tones Enrique. Nice comp though.

I like the composition, but the magenta is too much for me. You might burn down the small brighter spot in lower right.

I love the comp...but the saturation is also for me over the top. Beautiful light

Beautiful image and a wonderful color pallet. I am envious. I came through Page, AZ and had one morning to go to Antelope Canyon and there was no sun, just clouds. Great picture.

I love the saturation of the colors! This is a great shot. In lower right area between middle and bottom, there is a lighter spot of some natural feature or light, that draws my eye there immediately. Its under the overhang, but behind it somewhere. Its not a bad thing because it is naturally there, but if it weren't there, I wouldn't be focused on it so much and I may look more up and down in the photo instead of focusing there. Love the shot as-is though! Great work!

I think the comp is good.

The colors are way too strong for me though

Lovely composition, Enrique. The color doesn't for me though... way to saturated.

Try turning down the saturation of colors, but on the other hand, I think they are strong and give it a hint ..... perhaps more photo art

I read all your valuable comments and understand that by uploading this photo as a landscape with such bright colors clash with the real image of a landscape

I think this photo should have rather gone to the Photo Art forum, And I will do

Thank everyone for your valuable comments
