Horseshoe Bend in Utah, shot while on the Red Rock GTG.
Opened the raw file in Nikon Capture NX on my laptop and used nothing else for post processing. My home computer is out for repairs and upgrades, so I hope that this edit came out alright.
PP steps from what I remember: slight upward exposure compensation, shadow work, color booster, saturation, unsharp mask, crop, brightness/contrast, resize for DPC.

Great work at finding a naturally occurring symmetrical picture. Nicely captured.
You have managed to create the feeling of depth here, even though the photograph is "2-dimensional." Even at this small a size, the vastness of this "structure" carries forth and could overwhelm a viewer should they choose to view it for long.
The red is a bit overbearing, I think. While I know that that is the color of this area, it still seems to be a bit on the edge. If you could boost the blues and greens a bit more, and take down the reds *just a touch* I think it would help make it a bit more pleasant for the viewer.
Nevertheless, AWESOME shot and congrats on the top 20.
Good to see Horseshoe Canyon getting more looks. Yours is taken from exactly the same place I've taken it from, I recognize the near foreground rocks, except you have a better lense for it than I did. Nicely processed to!
