Factory Butte

[clayhaus]

Infrared image of Factory Butte, central Utah, not far from Capitol Reef Nat'l Park. I shot a number of color and IR images on our hike there and back. This one, with the small eroded ravine leading line, plus a tighter horizontal taken just below the butte, are my two favorites.

This works.

Great sky, foreground interest, good horizon placement and good light on the Butte.

A keeper.

Wow... Neat shot. This works in many ways, esp the geometry and the way the crack leads you to the butte. The sky is magical. But somehow, it loses its definition/distinction in the middle distance area. I also wish there was more of a perspective effect in the foreground where the cracks in the dried mud were bigger. Try upping the contrast a bit, either entirely or selectively on the middle ground and foreground.

Lovely, and intriguing b&w image. great composition leads us into the scene but I do find the swirling clouds to be too much and fighting me for attention from everything else. I would suggest a crop down from the top to about a 8x10 ratio just to eliminate the swirls. Seems to work well when i try it on the browser.
Really love the scene and the tones.
Well done

Wonderful image, well processed, congrats on sticky. I like how I'm lead to the butte.

most amazing - can't be real (and i grew up in the West . . . ) - that's what's so great! someone on here looking for ideas for a background for their next sci-fi film? look no further . . . love it - but then i'm just . . . b (not a photographer)

This looks quite surreal, great tones and congratulations on the sticky!
