Utah's Hoodoos Photo

Photographer’s Note

Fantastic Park but can be cold and windy!!

"Bryce Canyon National Park is named for one of a series of horseshoe-shaped amphitheaters carved from the eastern edge of the Paunsaugunt Plateau in southern Utah. Erosion has shaped colorful Claron limestones, sandstones and mudstones into thousands of spires, fins, pinnacles and mazes. Collectively called "hoodoos," these unique formations are whimsically arranged and tinted with colors too numerous and subtle to name." (http://www.bryce.canyon.national-park.com/info.htm)

Your photo is excellent and covers all subjects very well. But due to sand color tones, it may not attract many hits because complete details could not be seen in TE's Thumbnail view. Please try improving some contract if it works.

Hola Paul.
As you said, a fantastic park and i can say a fantastic picture. Really an impressive one.
Beautiful place, nice colors and great perspective from the place you took it. Also very good sharpness. Good DOF. Maybe a little bit more of contrast will help to see more details.
Very well done, TFS.

Hi Paul,
Nice composition. Textures and colors are superb.
Nice POV and the depth of field is great. Like the contrast between the rocks and the blue sky.
Well done
Fred

Hi Paul. Boy does this shot bring back some good memories. I think we both had the same clouds and sky. Personally it was quite warm for me in mid September 2004. You might want to boost the saturation to get that extra kick. Very nice one Paul.
