This was taken in Zion National Park, in Utah, USA. There is a somewhat famous section of the river in the park called the "Narrows" in which the canyon is only a few feet wide, yet the canyon walls are 2000 feet tall. This section of the trail, called Orderville Canyon, is several miles upstream from the more popular "Narrows" hike. At this point the canyon is about 5 feet wide and the walls only 600 feet high.
I hope your monitors are good enough to see the intricate patterns on the sandstone!

This is a wonderful image. I had you picked as the winner! The shadows, and textures and shapes are all perfect IMO. GREAT shot and good luck in future challenges.
Interesting rock striation, but I think a dark/light pattern would have suited better. I do like the lighting overall, how it fades into shadows off-center, though.
I hope to visit a place like this before i die :) Great shot... This makes a great black and white as well... beautiful contrasts and great tonal range... excellent exposure as well...
The lines and shadows in this photo are incredible, but I think a different "duotone" would have had more impact - maybe a sepia? The b&w is a bit blah. Great subject, great composition.
This is a great B&W subject. The way the shaddows carve out and define the space is wonderful. All those layers of earth - tiny lines. Nice job. I keep bobbing my head up and down to see if my monitor is showing it right - it seems a little bright. I would wish that the dark spot at the back of the photo - where the wall curves around and disappears, I wish it were black black - and if you could get it larger it would give a destination for the viewer eyes - "what's around the next corner?" The whole photo might look a bit better darker. Play with levels? Still I love it! 8
MMM...I like this! The lighting and focus is perfect. Shows nice depth. I feel I could walk right into the picture and follow the trail through canyon. Great texture noted in the rocks.
