Shot this at Antelope Canyon a number of years back. This was originally shot as a slide.Do you think it would be stronger with some cropped off the bottom? Looking for critiques...
Don't have specs but remember how I shot it.

you guys who still shot film understand a few things us noobs don't :)

I like this as posted Dave. Lovely light, detail, texture, clarity and pleasing composition.

Dave -- I like the comp as is and would not take anything off the bottom. Very nice detail and color for a slide scan.

Nice job Dave, I like it as presented. Really nice exposure. Love to see this in B&W also.

THe long vertical works well Dave - accentuates the long lines in the canyon. The brush is a nice plus.

Hi Dave

so sorry to be the odd one out, agree its s a lovely abstract.
But for me it needed a little extra punch and slight crop off bottom, I wanted to highlight that lovely twist in center.

so just tweaked the the darks in curves and up the highlights a little, then some LCE ...

great image no matter what you decide

Hi Peter, The added contrast gives a different look to the image. The eye has a tendancy to zero in more on the center...

Hey Dave,
I've debated the tumbleweed for a while now....I find that it works because it has some depth and texture to it. I defintiely prefer the OP's contrast.....just a bit much on Peter's repost......but I have the luxury of having been there many times but do wonder if darkening the MG just a touch, to make the RH lines stand out more would improve this even more. Just something to explore.
You may not recognize the place now.....it has gotten that busy!
