This one got a 9 from me :-) Glad it did *relatively* well for ya, considering the nature of the thing. Well done!

The thing of it is, over and over and over and over again we see antelope canyon shots that are just so mundane, *for that place* that they make me weep. Mediocre light, clumsy processing, cliched point of view, the whole litany. But shot properly, it's a place of exaltation.

Your shot captures this sense of the place, extremely well, and I'm glad the voters recognized that.

Very nicely done, got a 9 from me. Might want to correct the info though, its "Hecata Head", not "Haceta"...

Wow. What a finish! Can't believe you didn't ribbon AGAIN!

This is fascinating. What bothers me, though, is that it's been allowed to go pure white on the highlights. You can do repeated runs of shadow/highlight between iterations to keep that effect from multiplying the way it has here. Beautiful composition.

This is delightful, and it's miraculous that the voters actually acknowledged it with a ribbon :-) In a sea of plastic, technical tours-de-force, this stands out as an intensely *human* (all right, canine) instant in time... I gave it a 9.
