Badlands shapes and text

I was interested here in the stark differences in color and texture found in the SJ Badlands in New Mexico and in evoking a feeling of nearly timeless juxtaposition of these elements. Comments are very welcome. Chet

I really like the contrast in tones and textures between the 2 rocks. Very nice color, and the detail in the large version is very good, too. Well done!

The colors and details are very nice. I also like the fact that I can't be sure that this is not looking down at the rocks.

Nice color and detail Chet. The bottom portion looks like a tree trunk. Makes me wonder what I am looking at. Good work.

Very nice Chet. I too like the contrast here. Every time I see something like this I just stand back and marvel. A wonderful abstract - very attractive.
