Column

It sure is a very interesting rock structure with lots of potential, Nancy. I agree the comp is a little tight. The lighting is pretty contrasty and not very flattering, but it looks like a good find worth exploring it's possibilities.

Would have to agree with David. The best times for photographing almost any subject is in warmer/lower/filtered light. Whether it's clouds filtering or morning/evening sun, you're going to get better results. Definitely has some possibilities, but I'd go at this subject a little closer and try and work some abstract comps.

Cool find though. I'm currently building a google earth list of cool looking features I'm going to visit this September. Tons of interesting and un-photographed locations all over this awesome state.

As has already been mentioned, the harsh midday light does this no favours. This sort of light flattens texture, gives ugly shadows where you could really do without them and means that there is little depth. Ideal light would be low in the sky and off to one side, highlighting texture and giving the hoodoo a warm glow. With luck, the rock behind might be in shadow adding a much needed impression of depth.

Certainly one to come back to, if you can.

This is a very interesting rock formation Sandy. The mid-day lighting is definitely harsh here. Did you get any close ups of the details of the rocks. It looks like there are some great abstract comps there.

Interesting formation, worthy of exploration. It's hard to get a sense of scale here, with the grass the only real clue as to how big this column may be. I agree with what's been said about the light, but sometimes you have to take what the opportunity provides. Thanks for sharing.

Cool subject! Im not sure about the side lighting, am wondering if a soft even light (magic hour) might work better.
EDIT: oh i see im late to the punch...
