Horse shoe bend, a photo from Arizona, West

Photographer's Note

Horse Shoe Bend is another of Mother Nature's little tricks in a whole world of sandstone and slick rock tricks that result in some of the weirdest, and neatest, formations in the west. This is Glen Canyon and the Colorado River downstream from Glen canyon Dam, which holds back Lake Powell.

Hi Paolo,
This is a very interesting formation. The natural composition is incredible. Your POV is excellent and the colours are well captured. It looks like a castle with a moat around it. Well captured!

Welcome to TE, Paolo!
Very well put in scene, this impressive place
Only one thing - maybe: to complete the round-around effect, you could let on the bottom also a bit from the red rocks.
Keep them coming!

Hi Paolo,
Wow, great enter to TE, congrat! Good compo and impressive red and deep-blue colours. As for me I'd cut the right unfocused rock and add some more at bottom to have a whole circle. TFS, regards. Denis.

Bonjour Paolo,

Egalement nouveau sur ce site, j'ai regardé la galerie de bienvenue et ton cliché a tout de suite accroché mon regard...

La perspective de ce méandre est impressionnante et les couleurs magnifiques : on a l'impression qu'un cheval gigantesque a laissé l'empreinte de son sabot dans cette roche... L'endroit porte bien son nom.

Par contre contrairement à d'autres avis je pense que tu as bien fait de ne pas cadrer plus haut car cela donne l'impression que l'eau est un fer à cheval...

Regards,
Laurent

Ciao Paolo, e benvenuto su TE.
ottima foto, veramente stupenda, scattata da un punto perfetto per vedere l'ampia ansa del Colorado!
colori stupendi, buona luce, buon fuoco.
insomma...un'ottimo debutto!

grazie, ciao
