Composition/use of frame space - this is a very solid composition. I particularly like the way that the ridgeline is matched by the clouds.

Colors/White Balance - WB looks great - though the colors, particularly at the bottom of the canyon, look a bit unsaturated as compared to the rich blues and warm colors above. Very nice though.

Exposure - I can see how tricky a shot that this was to capture. I think you did a great job.

Creative use of Aperture/Shutter - NA

Perspective - NA

Creativity - Very nicely done. I am told that you can go to Bryce and shoot a thousand rolls of film and still not have enough.

Emotion - I would say that this image shows scale in a serious way. It provides a sense of microcosm.

Forethought/Visualization - Well visualized, I am not sure how to photograph it differently... I would be very interested to photographing some of the rock structures more tightly. However, that is for a different day. This photo is nicely framed.

Post processing - Again, you did a nice job work with the dynamic range issues of the photo. It might be nice to see a bit more saturation in the bottom of the photo, but honestly, it looks better than fine.

Thanks for sharing. Nicely done.



James,

Thanks for the detailed critique. Yes the saturation in the lower parts of the imagae was a problem since they were the darkest and had to be pumped up quite a bit in PP. My feeling was that I had gone far enough with pumping up the saturation and it was going to look "unnatural" if I went any further. Maybe a little more on the bottom wouldn't have hurt.

Thanks again.

George
