Wow you could have knocked me over with a feather!!! Thank you all...
A couple asked about the orientation of this picture...
I was on the ground looking straight up into the ceiling of the canyon...this is at Upper Antelope Canyon. I wrote to the tour guide asking her what the name of this particular place was called this was her response.
"Turn the picture around upside down. We call that "The sun rise or sundown at Monument Valley" Or one of the Mittens".
This was such an amazing day...if you are ever in the area...you must pay for the photographic tour they take you to place that most of the others can't go to...and they know where to be and just exactly when to be there...it was worth it's weight in gold...

This is without a doubt a work of art, a masterpiece. I think you've outdone yourself this time! The more I look at this the more I get a sense of artistic achievement beyond anything I've seen. As a trained artist I commend you for your skill and creative technique. This is truly one of a kind.
Ha! I'm not gonna "critique" anything that came in 4th of 400+ in a Best of challenge with a 7+ score and a whole slew of comments both during and after the challenge. Awesome! Congrats!! And it does indeed appear this photographic trip was well worth the effort. Nice job, Janine!
JANINE .. !!!!!
OMG .. how brilliant to find you on the front page in 'the best of' .. congratulations on such a fantastic shot .. it really is awesome .. and your HM .. AND A PB .. YOU GO GIRL .. !!!..:)
must say .. i love the colours .. the depth .. the way it leads you in and your crop .. WOW .. !!!.:)
As I stated in my comment during voting, very well done and congratuations Janine. I haven't been to Antelope canyon, but a couple of my best freinds and I have been going every year to do some canyoneering in Utah. It's an awesome place to be and play and photograph. Congrats on placing 4th!
The thing of it is, over and over and over and over again we see antelope canyon shots that are just so mundane, *for that place* that they make me weep. Mediocre light, clumsy processing, cliched point of view, the whole litany. But shot properly, it's a place of exaltation.
Your shot captures this sense of the place, extremely well, and I'm glad the voters recognized that.
I'm so excited for you.... but was really looking forward to seeing you win the ribbon. I have never been more anxious to see challenge results for someone else's entry.
Janine! I'm so happy for you. After what you went thru before with your stunning photography of this area, I am so delighted to see you win such a prestigious placing in this amazing challenge. Shows what you are made of as a photographer for sure :) CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Check you out, two 4th place finishes in the same week. A HUGE congrats on a new PB and your first 7 score!! I loved this image the first time I saw it.
Congrats on the top 5 Janine! Beautiful rendering! I remember this particular view very well, actually I am pretty sure I have a photo of it somewhere in my archive from last January, could have submitted it too :).
ETA: Oh yes, found it, I actually had in in January'09 FS :)
Wonderful image Janine, and one I would love to try and take myself if i can ever get to Antelope Canyon, although I'm sure I wouldn't get anything near as good as this one! Congrats on the HM!
Janine, I'm so happy for you! This is amazing -- not only the shot, but 4th place in the Best of the year challenge. And a 7. You must be in seventh heaven. Big CONGRATULATIONS.
Really great interesting shot. It has a sort of abstract nature and what's really interesting is that you could flip this shot in any direction and you still wouldn't be able to tell!
Very nicely done! I took some shots there a couple summers ago, and I know how hard it is to get colors just the way you want 'em in there. I think you brought them out beautifully.
Wow, love the range of warm tones of reds, golds, and oranges the pop off the shadow blacks in this photo. The sculpted sand cave walls undulate like that of ocean waves. Movement and color beautifully captured in nature.
