Bryce Hoodoos

We found the hoodoos at Bryce indescribably beautiful, and a photographer's paradise.
I also envision a triptych in the Photo Art forum in the near future from this one.

The larger view is a feast for the eyes. The subdued colors, lines and shapes are beautiful.

Nice job isolating those groups of hoodoos; the alternating white and reddish layers are a treat to look at.

Wow, the large version is incredibly richer than the original 720px. It's so much better. It just doesn't look as flat and as washed out. This is a really marvelous image, Sandy. The details in all that rock structure in those rich colors is a real pleasure to behold. You could also simplify this composition by eliminating the top hoodoos(?) leaving you with 4 main hoodoo elements, which seems to me to be a bit stronger composition.

An excellent grouping of Bryce hoodoos you have selected. I might have increased contrast slightly and a slight boost in vibrance to bring out the reds and yellows a little more. So much to explore in the shapes and textures. Very well done in selecting this slice of the canyon, as the view can be overwhelming and rarely as effective as trying to capture the entire view.

Real nice take on a classic location. Your comp really works and the light is quite nice. The image definitely needs to be viewed large.

Great Bryce capture Sandy. The scene you isolated has nice contrasts, yet comes together like an orchestra.
