Hi Vincent...great shot..you manage to capture the depth of the scene exceptionally well. perfect light and details. Nice work. Are you getting greater detail in these long exposures? Especially with your water scenes the long exposures seem to be working very well. But even in a shot like this it seems to make a difference...what do you think?

Hi Vincent,
Thanks again for sharing this fantastic landscape. The clarity of the sky is perfect, contrast is very good on the photo. The rocks are sharp and have wonderful warm colours. The perspective is stunning as well, these elements have extraordinary geometric shapes. Well done, TFS.
Have a nice weekend!

Hi Vincent,
a lovely photo. As you say, very abstract. A full crop of the sky to just show the layered rock formations would also have worked really well. Great job.

Great place - superb subject matter! I love the detail and the deep field of focus you've achieved here.

It leaves me wishing a little for a sense of scale, one of those things that's impossible to judge - it could be five metres to the top of that tower, it could be two hundred!

Hi Vincent,

Super photo, great detail and lovely layers, this would also be a cracker in black and white with a red filter to darken the sky.

this your another masterpiece, Vincent. it would certainly an editor's choice for a landscape photo. it's so superb a presentation with nice details and textures.
the lines on the rock wall at the FG are lead-in-lines to the pinnacle at the BG.
the vertical format is just perfect to give the deserved space for your subject in the FG.

well done
TFS

Hi Vincent,
I do have a picture of this same Checkerboard Mesa hanging in my home office, taken from an analog cam from many years back. I do like the textured abd well focused rocks shown from years of erosion. A most engaging composition, the glimpse of blue sky enhances the image. My compliments. Danilo

Another interesting and creative capture Vincent. I am always amazed at the detail you capture and so much depth to your images. Do you do any cropping so you get this perfect composition? I do not have that lens and you make me want to get it, but I doubt I could get images such as these even if I had it. Beautiful.
Warmest Regards
Wanda

Hi Vincent,

This city girl is enjoying all of the photos you take while on hikes! The lines and patterns on the rock are simply amazing. Great contrast with the blue, blue sky.

Great POV for an up-close-and-personal feel of being able to reach right out and touch the rock surface in the foreground! I like being able to observe the textures and details all the way up to the top rock formation, including the interesting holes in the layers. Well done:)

Hi Vincent,

A place to dream, to let the rock tell stories of thousands upon thousands of years of history.

It must have been magical to walk around in a place like this.
Excellent capture of those lines and well chosen point of view to make it seem even more impressive in it's height.

Why did you need such a long exposure on such a sunny day combined with F11? did that provide you with better texture in the rockface?

TFS
