Excellent use of line. I like the sweeping comp, and your pp looks good with the stack, exposure, and color. Fascinating image, Doug!

One of the finer pieces of sandstone I've seen lately. Excellent catch!

Very cool abstract Doug, some of the reds look a bit saturated to my eye, although I've never been there so I can't really comment on the color. Great vision.

Very nice Doug. Great lines and excellent job on the blend. Bet this one would look great printed huge with all that detail.

A fantastic array of graceful sweeping lines in this beauty, Doug. Great sense of motion here and I love the rich warm color of the sandstone.

Wow, almost looks like a blast of fire in my face! Very creative concept and execution.

Well done, Doug. Thanks for sharing!

Edit: I like how the you really pushed the comfort zone of the lower right without pushing the curved area out of the frame. In most cases, this would be an issue, but here it just works, and works very well.

I really like this composition. The lines just seem to sweep through the image. and the colors are very vivid.

Up, up and away! This is a real fine image, Doug. The color, composition and your conservative 'development' all combine to make this one of your best, IMO. I especially like the countercurrent swirls in the lower right corner. Bravo!

Doug,

Wonderful lines. I like and appreciate keeping colors natural and subdued; I think there's a natural tendancy to want to turn these things in to fire...
