Great shot and lucky you to be there! Only you know how accurate the photo is compared to the visual experience, but I have no problem with sharpness or color values. Thanks Kent

You have presented this image very well Momo....I like the square format and how the undulating sides of this canyon take you deep into the scene. Wonderful colours and pin sharp. Good control of the lighting too....my only observation is oversharpening.........the edges we see are flawed with halos....something to be aware of when using USM.

Other than that ....a delightful image to hang. Well done and thanks for sharing. Regards.........Steve.

Eye-capturing shot! Great DOF for f6.4. Effective use of natural light for showing the beauty of nature with a little help from PS sharpening. Impressive portfolio of Antelope Canyon. Beautiful job and thanks for posting.

Great colors, showing what it looks like standing in the canyon. Having shot in the same canyon, I suggest looking for a composition that creates more of a mystery. For example, there are many places where you can get the walls of the canyon appearing to overlap each other. Your shot is just too "straight on" of a view. With the right juxtaposition of overlaps, it's sometimes difficult to even tell which rock is in front of the other.

I hope you get a chance to go back. You've certainly got the exposure and color down solid. For a real challenge, consider trying it in black and white.

Just looked at the rest of your portfolio and noticed you have some others from Antelope Canyon, including one in black and white. Great work.

Jerry

I love slot canyon photos and would like to get there some day. I don't have a problem with the sharpness...I tend to like things crisp although you can loose a lot of subtle colors in the process.

It is a beautiful composition and I would be proud to hang this on my wall. Not much else to say except....Excellent!

I think clarity and exposure are perfect in my eyes........I do really love how the wavy lines bring out the mood in this photo........Best regards erikp.

Fantastic shot! Pin sharp, well composed an exposed. There is one tiny area that is a little overexposed, but you might be able to fix that by cloning over it with an adjacent area.

Very nice canyon shot, but careful with taht sharpening. It's too strong in this image. Still very fine slot canyon shot.
