I was amazed by the wonderful Glow in this beautiful place, and I just recently had the capability to process this scene to the way I wanted it. The luminosity masks played an intricate part in processing and presenting this image to how I saw it in the field. Zion national park is such a wonderful place, and this hike in the Virgin River I will forever remember. I can't wait to get back out that way to indulge in this wonderful place. Life is such a wonderful experience, and I am grateful for moments like this one.
Thank you in advance for having a look and leaving any thoughts you may have

11 commentsBeautiful image, Ryan. Those are some popping colors in the background! The blue in the water works real well here, nicely contrasting the red walls. I like it a lot.
Gorgeous light and glow, with lots of detail. Very nicely done, and I enjoy your enthusiasm for these kinds of adventures!
Nice job with the DR, looks very natural to me in every way. Love the glow on the wall, must be a special sight in real life! And you are absolutely right, these are the moments that mean the most in life.
Ryan, This is really nice and I think your composition works great to show this place off. The water and foreground rocks are a wonderful compliment to the glowing wall. Nice work!

Very nice colors and details, I like the shutter speed for the water, the amazing glow on the walls and details on right part of it. I love it.
Great color and composition. I also like you POF. Fine image.
Great light, Ryan - the canyon walls appear to be on fire!
Having spent a fair amount of time in canyon country, this image instills the emotion of being there for me. What more can you ask of a photograph?
Nice image Ryan. I very much like the colours and the golden glow. The image is a good representation of the wonderful landscape in Zion and reminds me of the many times that I have been there. I'm a bit in doubt about the composition with the transition between rocks and water more or less in the centre of the image. Chopping off some of the FG or part of the top, however, doesn't seem a good idea either. So I have no suggestion here.
Hi Ryan
Harleys comment echoed my thoughts perfectly

an excellent example of "two images in one images". Sometimes so different tones make an heavy effect, sometimes (as IMHO here) this chromatic contrast works very well. Definitively great good effect for my tastes, with the darker zone of rocks to frame the image.
All the best,
