After all of the Antelope Canyon shots I've seen, this one is unique with the ray and the sand fall. It's been a favorite of most who have seen it. I hope it will do well here.

seems under-rated … I was looking for this one to place higher. Certainly worthy or a poster as well. I suppose the highlights are slightly high and the contrast and sharpness could be improved slightly but the long exposure is really nice here.
Great scene, but I feel the processing could have been a little edgier - perhaps some levels to make the colors and layers pop. Or perhaps the whole thing in BW.
beautiful shot, having been here I know that the rocks are much richer than what I see in this shot...did you do curves/levels?...your upper exposure is much better than mine (more light) I lost soooo much detail in the background that it just didn't work for me to use....you have such excellent detail in this
This is very lovely, but it seems like it could use a little more contrast to bring out the beautiful sunbeams and highlights and get a little more mood. What a wonderful spot and very nice shot.
