Upper Antelope

[Michael Pancier]

Went through my upper antelope pics. I really liked how the light worked on the left to give this a flame like quality.

Now this was shot strait up into the top of the canyon so there was no way to avoid the blown highlights. I've tried flipping this image to landscape but not sure.

I'm open to suggestions on working with this one. tighter cop perhaps?

5f + 17-40L @ 17mm f/8; ISO 200; 8 Sec. exp.

Flame like is right. Gorgeous glow and I love that texture. Maybe a slight crop off of the right? The blown sky doesn't bother me. I wonder how this would look as an HDR.

Flame like indeed. Actually a bit too red in the BG rocks IMO. Love the comp.

I agree that the colors are a bit over saturated. The blown sky doesn't bother me at all. Here is a link to the image I captured during my visit to Antelope. This is the same portion of the canyon in your image, just a different point of view. http://frozenshutter.smugmug.com/gallery/1857871_WJJwY#146918953

you could probably shoot this spot all day. I shot it from different angles too though it was a tough angle. I had to crouch on the ground to compose.:eek:

here it is with less saturation.

Michael,

Actually, I like the wilder looking reds myself... creative interpretation on your part.

The blown area is distracting IMO.
