I'm standing on the ground level looking straight up...the colors in this canyon were absolutely beautiful...it was my first visit to the Lower Antelope Canyons, last years entry came from the Upper Antelope Canyons...well worth the trip if you are in the area...The canyons are stunning, that something so naturally formed can have so many shadows and lights is amazing...

Just looking at the portfolios of those folks that gave me a "favorites" for my Best of 2010 photo. After looking over your recent shots, I realized that this photo was one of my 3 10's given out in the same challenge. I guess we both have great taste!

Beautiful location. I think you would have needed to combine multiple exposures to really make this work at its best.
