Thanksgiving at Dead Horse Point
Feb 12, 2019 23:05:09 #
We spent the last Thanksgiving holiday at Canyonlands in Utah. It was raining on and off on Thanksgiving day, so we spent the day in Dead Horse Point rather than hiking into the canyons. We stopped and had lunch at an off-trail point between the Meander and Shafer Canyon overlooks. While sitting at the end of the point enjoying the view, the rain stopped and small breaks in the clouds let a little sunlight thru. This image is the view we were enjoying.

From what I see in the download - I would not touch it. Great shot!! Nice wall hanger.

One of my favorite places! Nice and sharp capture of the wonderful texture of the place. Given the poor overall lighting, the water reflection is a very nice extra.

A little subtle selective dodging and burning back and forth would prevent the forward cliff from blending into the far one. Just a little more separation is very effective. Im afraid I didn't save the work I did on it, so this is unedited and just to point out the area in the center of the photo. Very nice photo.

it's a great shot just as it is. For fun I would try cropping a bit off of the bottom just to enhance the panoramic feel.

Agree, just a touch. Then put it on a wall.

I really like the expansive look to this image. I tried one when I was there, but there were people in the way. One question: If you had stepped to one side of the other, would you have gotten the entire horseshoe of the river in your frame? Your colours are really nice. It was cloudy when I was there also, and my colours weren't so nice.

Dave, thanks view viewing. This was our first visit to the park. We got lucky with the short breaks in the clouds, otherwise everything wold have remained flat. Those breaks finally closed back up and continued raining.
