Upper Antelope Canyon panorama. No enhancing filter, and no warming filter were used in this capture. It was shot 2/3 stop underexposed. This is an old slide scan so no exposure information is available. Hope you like my image. C and C welcome, I'm here to learn. - John

I have got to go there some day. Spectacular color rendition. I like the upper and lower darker areas leaving the deep bright colors in the center. Lots of leading lines too. I'm sure there are a thousand ways you could have rendered this scene. Love this one as is.

John,
The guide I had for Upper Antelope refered to this formation as "Monument Valley upside down."

Hey John,
Agree with above....very nicely done! Looks like lava flowing off the edges on the bottom!

John, Nicely done combining the vertical and horizontal lines of this seen into a well thought-out flow through the image.

Wow, John, I thought you only did orchids! This is phenomenal. I can't get over how the dark top rocks fit right into the space where the lightest color is - the detail and the comp are outstanding. I have GOT to get there some day!

Some day I will get to this location and I hope to get the tones and textures recorded as well as this. Outstanding!
