Here's another shot from my trip to Antelope Canyon. I have again chosen to convert it to black and white because I think the light works better for it.

Looks good, Cristina! You might consider cropping the extreme top--the bright point up top pulls the eye a bit. Nice.

I took a look at the previous comments, and I see wht they are saying about the "bright spot".
Here is the thing of it: We photograhers have to understand that we have a way we are used to seeing things. We try to cram every image into that can; we try to decide how it has to be changed or cropped in order to fit in than can we have made in our minds that we think it has to be crammed into.
Here I see something like an eye up above; something looking down; something that is itself the source of the light that it sees, looking down. The eye that sees from above what it constructs: That bright spot that we want to minimize.
To my eye, this image suggests how consciousness begins to look inward, to understand its origins.
Beyond that, I see the profile of a deer or elk looking towards the right side.

This looks good in black & white. I would consider cropping the bright part at the top. Great lines and tones. Beautiful image

Very nice! Converted, this is all about texture and form, instead of color. Good stuff!

6 commentsI agree with Stan about the bright spot, but here is an alternative to cropping it. http://www.naturephotographers.net/imagecritique/bbs.cgi?a=vm&mr=58831&CGISESSID=2bdaf2d20c63655c7fc92c05f16da788&u=17705
