Antelope Canyon
Back to normal as promised. Thank you very much for the feedback yesterday. It is very helpful to see the range of responses. I will definitely keep playing with this approach to see what it evolves to.
Here is the obligatory Antelope Canyon shot. It is right next to the power plant from last week and you can't really see the canyon until you are a few feet away from the entrance. If you go, allow for a lot of time. The place is crawling with photographers and getting a clean shot is not easy.

Gosh, is this for real? How big is it?
Martin: Yes, this is for real
How beautiful! The textures are incredible. What a place I'd love to visit too...
This is that magical place, magically captured by an image magician

Looks like a place to take a thousand pictures! Love the texture and the lines that draws they eye
It's beautiful, but the problem is scale. It's hard to say whether this is 6 feet deep or 600. I can see why you might not want to put a human figure in there, but it would help.
For me, Martin, this works even better as an abstract image than as a landscape [in portrait format]. Colours are rich and beautiful, and the lines are sensuous.
This is unique, pure magic, love the light/shadow/colors, you must have been very patient to wait the others to go, I think now it comes in handy to be tall...which I am not
Wonderful! Magical! I love the texture and the lines.
It might be obligatory but it's still an excellent shot to look at!
I can well see why everybody wants to photograph this. Beautiful Martin
Fantastic shot. It looks like a macro of some delicately veined flower petals.

With this type of landscape it doesn't take much to imagine the place crawling with photographers. But you got an amazing shot and you should be very proud of it!
That's a stunning shot Martin
You got that clean shot Martin and thanks for sharing it
Lovely stunner
fascinating image Martin, surly worth the wait.
This is like the tubing inside the human body. Fantastic pinks and I love the water worn passages ... Totally yummy Martin.

Very impressive Martin, but also agree with Catalpa, hard to judge the scale. Knowing where it is intuition says it is cavernous, but could but tiny.
Yes, this is a view that has been seen on several photoblogs, magazines etc. I can imaging there are a lot of photographers there.
However! This is a good capture of the canyon. Perfect exposure bringing out all those beautiful shadows. I like the reddish tone... It is amazing how beautiful nature can be! /Jonas
Oh stop it! This is so good.
I have visited this slot canyon too (see mine of 19 Apr 2006) but my post was nothing like this. I remember most the bumpy ride in the back of a Navajo's rickety pickup truck to get here from the entrance. As we were the first run of the day, there were only half a dozen of us. By the time we had to leave, several dozen more tourists (read screaming kids) arrived to spoil the peace and serenity of the place. Best advice - go early!

Excellent patterns - graphical appearance
I can see why photographers gather here.You've made a lovely shot - as good any one of them, I'm sure.
Wow. I want to go to this place
Nice shot
Wow!what a beautiful place!good job
