A stunning place, I always love looking at photos of it.
You did a wonderful job on all of them, but I particularly appreciate having ONE in that series (your ribbon shot) that includes a person. Without that, it would have been impossible to judge the scale.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/21/2006 10:36:08 AM
Just knew this would be a winner!!! Outstanding and you certainly didn't need to wrestle the 10 out from me (which I don't usually give easily). Most deserving :).

Hehe, this place seems to be to you americans what northern lights are to us Icelanders, almost a guaranteed ribbon or top 10 shot! Love that location so I am not at all surprised, I definately want to go there someday, for now I am just glad people like you are able to capture the beauty there for those of us that arenĀ“t able to go there ourselves. Nice work!

Fantastic light, and lovely colors! I love all photos I've seen from these caves! Did you have a good trip up here? Great capture, and a ribbon winning one for sure! 10
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/19/2006 05:34:37 PM
Beautiful textures. Is she red from color tweaking, or from the red stones surrounding her?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/19/2006 04:33:42 PM
Wow. Beautiful.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/19/2006 01:35:44 PM
I know you tried to convey the person was framed, but I think this shot would look so much better without her. It's gorgeous, anyway.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/19/2006 08:17:03 AM
shouldn't have had the girl in it. shes too far down and to small to be anything but distraction
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Beautiful place! Where is it?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/18/2006 05:59:03 PM
OOPS yet another shot that i think could win...
10 from me.
I have found 4 outstanding images in this challenge, and this is one of them.
I have to give them all a ten as i can't choose between them

Good luck

Kev

Returning just for another look as i love it.
Decided that this should win. So there that's decided, pick up your blue ribbon.
:)

Actually, if this was taken in the Page, Arizona area it would be Navajo Limestone, I believe. Nice colors, good lighting and a perspective you don't often see in a slot canyon image. Perhaps this is Lower Antelope Canyon? Looks a bit oversaturated red to me but it is always hard to tell with these lower light level shots. I really like slot canyon photography. I have some upper antelope canyon images here:

06/18/2006 06:04:19 AM
very nice. I wish the lady wasn't in the shot though, I find it takes away from the rest of it. In my opinion. -7 (8 with the change)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/18/2006 05:41:11 AM
wow, where does this colour come from. Is it natural red?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/18/2006 02:28:23 AM

Really nice colors.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/16/2006 01:20:35 PM
I hate you guys that live near stuff like this :P but anyway excellent shot. It is a non-traditional shot with the subject being so small but it really helps give one a prespetive of the size of the cavern. (10)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/16/2006 01:15:20 PM
Strong lines working this photo! This slot canyon really minimalizes your subject. Nice work!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/16/2006 05:58:13 AM
Good frame but subject is a little small in relation to the frame.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/16/2006 01:05:13 AM
Amazing!

06/15/2006 09:36:05 PM
Magnificent place, a photographer's dream. You should do well in the rankings with this one.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/15/2006 06:52:16 PM
almost completely missed the person in the foreground- i like how having something recongnizeble makes the colors seem more legit
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/15/2006 06:32:13 PM
amazing shot!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/15/2006 03:06:39 PM
Nice composition and impresionantes colors. From my point of view, the framed model is too small.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/15/2006 11:05:40 AM
Wow!

It could be discussed whether challenge is fulfilled:

Details: Capture an image where the foreground subject frames the rest of the image.

But it is some kind of framing in the foreground, enough for a nine from here.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/15/2006 10:58:39 AM
Wow - incredible colours and dimensions! Where is this?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/15/2006 08:44:07 AM

06/14/2006 03:57:19 PM
Lovely take on an oft-photographed location. I really like the way you've created the framing. Her purple clothing works well - although she's tiny within the frame the colour subtly pulls the eye towards her after it's initially wowed by the reds of the sandstone.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/14/2006 11:01:31 AM
this is a very amazing picture.. the rocks shape and their color are very captivating, still i dont think they draw the eye to the model..a good shot nontheless
06/14/2006 09:56:51 AM
wow1 Love this one. The colors- holy cow.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/14/2006 08:45:06 AM
Terrific. Maybe a tighter shot would really show frame. And looking down
would have been effective.

06/14/2006 06:24:14 AM
excellent for this challenge, good luck

06/14/2006 04:16:32 AM
Incredible. The colours are absolutely breathtaking. And the lines and curves are so well defined. A winner.

06/14/2006 02:48:25 AM
beautiful image which would have benefitted from her not being in the shot as it looks like she just happened to be there.
