Love the texture of the rock, also the light.

Truly, one of the finest images I have seen of Antelope Canyon, and I've seen hundreds! Reminds me of a flame. Nice exposure, detail and variety of colors.

Stunning image --- I really like the composition. The twist in the upper right is exceptionally nice.

I dig it, James. Love the special rock outcropping in the upper middle. I also particularly like the intense glow in the bottom left of the image, as well as the subtle rimlighting that is produced there. Processing wise, I think that the exposure is handled beautifully, but that the details appear a little crunchy. This is particularly noticeable in the upper right. I would personally back off on the sharpening just a tad.

Chris,thanks for the input. I am noticing that the appearance of over sharpening is the result of to much clarity. I will look at this a bit more closely .

I echo Chris' thoughts...esp noticeable in the upper right of the frame.

I went back and looked at the raw file and the upper right area is "crunchy" without any type of sharpening. What we see is an exposed material in this layer of sandstone. Since the sediment is exposed ,it appears to be accentuated when sharpened and or the addition of clarity. I took some time to crop that area and blow it up,you have to love the a7R, and the expoed material really stands out. Thanks for your comments-made me take a closer look at my post processing.
