Awakening

I like the light, the color, and the comp in this. Very natural and beautiful color.

John, the dynamic lines lead me into the depth in an appealing way, and I especially enjoy the glow on the distant rock.

I agrre with the previous posters' thoughts. Great skies, too!

The large version is really nice John. Sounds like a crazy adventure. By the way, your post to comment ratio is way below the recommended standard for this forum.

Very nicely done, John. The light is great and the clouds add some nice interest and contrast.

Thanks, guys for your comments.

Michael: my fingers are too slow. I will try to type more often :))

Tony: Your pictures from the region inspired me.

The lines in the foreground work well John to bring the viewer into the scene. The blue orange combo also is attractive.

Fascinating rock formations, John. Almost looks like hot mud spreading down the mountain. The textural details are fabulous.

Beautiful, natural looking and wonderfully graphic in structure.

This is excellent John. I like the swirling formation in the foreground at the sky looks great. Glad you were able to get your car out!

Thanks Eva, David, Ian, Scott.

I got a flat tire AFTER I went back on the gravel road. I am not sure if it is good luck or bad luck.

Very impressive, John! Great lines, color, and textures. This encourages me to
make another visit to the Southwest.

John,

Good meeting you at the White Pockets. An excellent example of the minagarie of lines and shapes this place has.
It don't sound fun changing a tire in deep sand!, But much better than the folks I gave a ride back into town. Their transmission had come loose and dumped all the fluid in the sand
Glad you made it back home!
Nice photo!!

Robert, you have an impressive collection on your web site.

Richard,
It was nice to meet you there. I need to follow your footsteps. You looked so outdoor savvy that drive to White Pocket was piece of cake to you.

BTW. Your web site is a list of Ad's. Is it still active?

Beautiful curves in the foreground. The moody cool clouds in the sky complement the red rocks well.

A nice adventure story, also.

I like this a lot, John--it's got a nice yin-yan thing going with the sky and bottom curves!

Thanks Yiming and Stan.

Stan, it was such a cold morning, I only felt yin. I am glad you found the only half for me.

Very nicely done! I like the realistic colors and great lines.

As far as flats go, airing down sure does help a lot to avoid them. And makes a smoother ride and easier to go through sand.

Thanks, Harley. I never thought about airing down to avoid flat. It makes sense because the pressure is lower. Good to learn.

The lines are awesome. Nice warm light on the background rock and blues of the sky work well together. Nice work John.

John, I eally like the graphics in this image and the way it leads my around within it.

I like how the swirling textures lead the eye into the scene, nice work John!

Great composition. Those lines coming from the lower left really lead the eye around the image and give a great sense of depth. Nice work
