Still going through my folders of Utah captures, and came across this one from the Virgin River Narrows hike. This was taken about half way up the river at a rest point. I was struck by the rich colorful rock and the greenish water flow. I was also trying to show the immensity of the walls and how high they went.

Have a great week!


>>>>>>>>>>>>> Wikipedia

The Narrows in Zion National Park, (near Springdale, Utah) is a section of canyon on the North Fork of the Virgin River. The hike of The Narrows is one of the premier hikes on the Colorado Plateau. The term The Narrows refers to both the through-hike of The Narrows, and to The Narrows themselves, especially the 3.6 mile (6 km) long section of canyon between the end of the Riverside Walk Trail and Big Springs.

Hi Vincent,
You have succeeded in showcasing the massiveness of Zion. A really pretty image with wonderful tones and texture from the rocks, the slow shutter speed resulted in a silky water. Good work...Danilo

Hi Vincent

Great capture of these rocks.
You have brought out the colours of the rocks well.
The long exposure has also given a good texture to the water.

Great light - warm colours (although I hear the water's cold at this time of year!!), and again the blur of the water really makes the pic..
Maybe a little OE in a couple of spots - the near rock and the small bit of beach, but another stunning shot from your trip to Utah.

Cheers
DAvid
