I have never been to Cathedral Gorge and didn't know what color the formations should be for sure. Kathy's picture looked flat but maybe the color is correct. My first go around came out much redder than this final edit. I did a Google search to see what their pictures might have been and found out they are all over the place with color. I know Kathy likes to keep her pictures as realistic as possible. I hope I did it justice.
The RAW image was quite flat. And I was there at noon, so really bad lighting. There actually is quite a wide variety of colour there. The ground is almost pure white. The small hoodoos are quite light in colour. When you get up toward the top of the gorge, the colours get more intense and decidedly redder.
