I agree with Julie. This shot has really captured some of the beauty of Bryce.

I love Bryce, but have found it difficult to photograph because of the repetition of the hoodoos. I think the way you brought out the clouds, and particularly the way you composed the shot to bring your eye into the canyon on the left, helps the viewer to appreciate the beautiful hoodoos.

Additionally, the line of white tops on some of the hoodoos also makes the shot more interesting and breaks up the repetition.



Dave,

Thanks for the positive feedback. I know what you mean about loving this place. And I also agree that as beautiful as it is, it is hard to photograph. I think it really pays to get up early and catch it in different lights. You also caught my trick on selectively lightening the white hoodoo tops. I was trying for just the effect you describe of adding some snap in the otherwise repetitive hoodoos.

Thanks again.

George

Some of my best
