Slot Canyon

Hiking Wire Pass/Buckskin Gulch we came upon this canyon wall which had water running/seeping down the rock wall. The wet wall was picking up the sky and part of the canyon glow in the reflection. It was a five shot HDR .3 EV

The reflected light is pretty cool. There is a little funckiness/softenss in the far central wall near the light transition, maybe because of the blend. A little soft, maybe just the web version? Looks like an amzaing slot.

I had to work with PP on that wall. It was over exposed some, and little areas a little blown.

Have to agree with Harry, apart from the weird colours, the walls look amorphous. You could easily crop the top and still have a good shot IMO.

Nice shot Rick. I like your comp and the array of colors throughout. As Harry pointed out, it's a shame about the fuzzy bit through the opening in the top.

The crop suggested would really strengthen this image, IMO. You'd lose the sky, which would be a shame but it would put more emphasis on that beautiful golden light at the end of the 'tunnel'.
