Slopes

I found this rather drab scene somewhere along UT24 east of Capitol Reef, and decided to "juice" it up for my own interpretation. Full frame, larger image included.

Really nice. The colors and textures are appealing. Could see burning down the corners, especially LLC, to create a more view-focusing vignette.

Love those diagonals, Bill, and the wonderful graphics of the dendritic-like designs on each receding ridge. Your 'juiced up' interpretation works very well in my opinion. The larger image is a real visual treat.

I like this a lot, Bill. One of my favorite haunts. Great abstract and juicing up the colors a little doesn't hurt a thing. Nice.

Love the layers of slopes. Makes me want to go sliding and yelling Wheeeee.

Great eye you had in composing this one, Bill. I find the long sweeping lines very relaxing. Thanks for sharing!

Bill, I love the lines in this. I agree with Tony's suggestion for a slight burn in the corners. The color looks fine, to me, and even though you 'juiced' it up, it's not overbearing.

Very nice lines, colors and textures in this Bill. Also like the diagonals in the comp. Very nice abstract indeed.

Bill, I've been by this general area along UT24 numerous times through the years. It has a very recognizable look to the terrain having seen it on those trips.

This scene is a different take of that popular landscape and I really like the approach you've taken with this POV. All significant slopes in the scene funnel right nicely into the LRHC of the frame here. That for me works very well with this overall hillside view......

Beautiful colours, lines and depth in this shot Bill. Your juicing up worked.
