Thanks so much folks for your kind remarks. This region of the Paria wilderness is a photographer's dream. I'll be posting a few more pics from Coyote Buttes in the near future. #2058902

Your lines and colors are wonderful. I find the brush at the bottom a bit distracting. That can easily be cured with some cloning. Peace, karen #2059014

Thanks Janine, Karen, Pat and Sharon for you complementary remarks. Karen, thanks especially for the critique; rather than clone out the vegetation, I may be able to find an image from a similar angle without the 'shubbery' to post. #2060201

Wow - I love these colors and textures in the sandstone. The waves add so much to the overall image. I would love to visit this place. This is gorgeous. #2430385
