I've always been intrigued by the eroded walls in Capitol Gorge.

This is great. The diagonal of the bedding planes on the lower half cut off (an erosional event?) and overlain with bedding of a different alignment makes a tantalizing 'understory' to the more obvious elements. I love the tales rocks can tell and you've done a first rate job of capturing and sharing this one. Wonderful detail, dof, and pov.

A great intimate. I could see upping the contrasts, specifically the midtones to try and enhance the textures.

Wonderful abstract Bill. I think a little more contrast will take this to a higher level.

Nice light and textures captured here, ditto to the touch of contrast. Good job though.

bill - this is great - i love the textures and forms here. exploring this in slightly different (more contrasty light) and I would explore it in b&w (but that might just be me :wink: ).
