Secret Canyon

Got a chance to spend 5days in page on a photo workshop. This image is from Secret Canyon. You can only get here through a tour company. The ride to and from the canyon was wild! 45degree angle rock climb and teeter totter on two wheels! This is from a little section of the canyon where the light was bouncing around and created some interesting colors. Threw some sand over the ledge to get an interesting look.

So basic but very effective, not a screamer.

I like the simplicity of this image and the colors are very nice. The dead bush adds interest.

Love the color variations and the texture of the wall. The sagebrush is a great element too.

Looks like a very cool place. The ride as much of thrill as the canyon. A simple arrangement but I think it works.

The dead brush add some interest to this scene. It's simple but effective. It must be a wonderful place to explore

I like the comp with it's use of lines and the shrub subject. Nice light and pastel colors as well.

Love the simplicity of your composition, the pastel colors and how the sand seems to pour into oblivion with the dark shadows across the bottom. Nicely done.

A very fine shot that invites contemplation. I personally wonder if it's a bit too magenta, but you have a better handle on this location than me (obviously, as I've never been).

I think your composition is strong. The colors are believable and captivating. The web sharpening a bit too strong. The sand motion possibly cliche, works for me. That said, I love it!
