[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Antelope Canyon is at once one of the most breathtaking and tranquil places on earth. Gently carved from the Navajo sandstone, those slot canyons are majestic and narrow passages, just enough space for a small group to walk the sandy floor...and for the occasional shafts of sunlight to shine down from above!

Hi Robert,
I visited Upper Antelope Canyon on August 13 around noon, one of the most beautiful locations I've ever witnessed in my life...
I came up with several decent shots, none of which compares to yours, it's truly magnificent.
I know that Antelope Canyon can be either a dream or a total nightmare for photographers, but what I see here is simply outstanding!
Great job, my friend.
Ciao,
Fulvio.

Robert,
The difuse light and colors are excellent in this rock shot. The girl is a nice inclusion.

Well done, friend.

Now this is a place that I've always wanted to visit. The smooth rock has such amazing shapes, almost like a giant sculpture. The lighting coming down from the top really does some great things with those rocks. I like the inclusion of the two other photographers, giving some scale. Well done!

Hello Robert! Wonderful shot allowing us to appreciate this unique place while also experiencing the awe of the photographers as well. The inclusion of the people really enhances the scene nicely adding the human element and providing instant scale for the depth of the slot canyon.

Well done!

Hello Robert,
Wonderful sculptures of nature!
This wasn't done over night, but the result is amazing!
You make well use of the present light, and even manage to create this fine feeling of depth...
A pleasant composition with great colours, inclusion of the couple of photographers adds dynamics!
Greetings,

Hi Robert,
Incredible capture of this sprial sandstone twisting magnificently from the canyon floor. The colors are very clear and the details remarkable with excellent sharpness. The inclusion of the other photographers is another fine element to this photo.

Bonjour Robert
One of your earlier shots from this place was my fav. This is excellent too, quite dramatic because of the textures, the play of light & the inclusion of your fellow photographers. Excellent work!
Best Regards
Angshu

Robert,
I have seen inumerous shots of Antelope Canyon at TE. Unfortunately after been in Page and not knowing about the place! What your shot is different from all others is the inclusion of people - of photographers. That makes it quite attractive. Finally I also have the impression of a scale. It seems to be huge. Good light management!
Regards, Peter

Bonsoir Robert!
Cet intérieur de canyon n'a rien à voir avec l'atmosphère souvent pesante des grottes souterraines; Les jeux de lumière sur les formations élégantes de la roche, donnent une impression de légèreté, comme si un voile fin recouvrait les parois!
Une très belle prise de vue!
Marie Louise.
