Zion Echo Canyon

I was fascinated with this narrow canyon that is within the much larger Zion canyon. So much so that I hiked up the 1.5 mile 1000 foot elevation gain three days in succession to finally get images that pleased me.

I'd say your repeated trips were well worth the effort! Nicely composed and perfect exposure. Very nice, David.

This is my favorite spot in the park and have been there many times, also I love the lung-busting hike. I do like the image and the subdued colors. It feels a little left heavy in my opinion though.

This captures the spirit of Zion quite well. I like the warm/cool contrast and the way it simplifies a somewhat chaotic scene.

I love Zion but find it sometimes difficult to photograph. You have done very well here. I like this a lot.
