It is a very nice result of the action of erosion. Hopefully they will stay up for a long time for the pleasure of many photographers and other people. It is an excellent shot with good colours and good POV too. Well done.

Oi Chris!
It seems like this picture was taken in another planet!!!! But no, I know it wasn't because I lived there and I know that place is fabulous! Your picture is very good, with a quite different angle (at least I have never seen this one before) and pretty attractive and wonderful visual results! Colors, lights and sharpness are all very good too!
TFS - congratulations!
Best regards,
Neyvan

Hello Chris,

I see that we are virtual neighbors today. This is fabulous scene, and your photograph is composed exquisitely. The conical trees stand in sharp contrast to the craggy and amorphous stone formations.

I was at the Garden of Gods in November of 2006, but with members of my family who were a bit impatient about stopping for photos. In the rushed visit I did not get to see this formation, especially which such lovely light. Warm regards,

Bulent

Hello Chris,
An interesting composition with good colour contrasts. I like the warm light and the way it falls across the rocky pinnacles. Very good sharpness.

Bonjour Chris,
une photo qui offfre une toute belle palette de couleurs dans les ocres et les verts avec toutefois la réapparition d'une surexposition assez forte dans les nuages et cette balance limite des lumières un peu partout. On devine que le soleil devait être très dur.
With my best regards.
Daniel.

Hello Chris,

Interesting to see how the shape of the rocks resembles the tree shapes!
A good colour combination, as the red contrasts well with the greenery...
An appealing composition with good details!

Namaste Chris
These rocks do have an unusual shape...almost like termite hills. interesting contrast between the green hedges & the red stones rising up, parallel to each other. Well done!

Great composition and perfect use of the 28mm lens.

Hello Chris,

A saturation of the colors which creates on this photograph an almost surrealist landscape… I like contrast between these trees and the rock. A light which seems to me strong but that you managed well. Pretty and interesting glance, thank you Chris.

With all my friendships and a very good WE,

Jean-Charles

Hi Chris,

The trees are framing well the rock formations. The point of view is allowing us to see the details and colors of the rock formations. The light has a good effect on the colors on the scenery. Have a nice day.
