This is a mid-day shot of a sandstone wall receiving reflected light from a sunlit wall on the opposite side of a small canyon, creating an even wash of orange light.

nice colours. i wish for a little more contrast as i think it would probably give the image more depth.

Love the wonderful textures, lines, and color of this image, Scott! Great find of a comp; has such a nice flow to it. Good focus showing the details of the wall textures. One thought would be to crop up slightly from the bottom to give a little more importance to the top curving wall section. But wonderful as is!

Excellent abstract. The lines and the subtle color variations keep my eyes roaming. I too think that a modest crop from the bottom would place more attention on those luscious curves with the touches of red in the top half.
