Hi Ryan,
Man you post slow, you really leave all of us in despair in the wait for a new gem from your hand ;-)
Light is your trademark, this one is no expection to that rule. The human element makes the scaling complete and together with that rock on the left we have a great composition in sight.
As usual a great shot...i didn't expect anything else from you...!!!
Take care, Henk

Hi Ryan
What a beautifull place. You get also a nice light and a great cloudy sky. The child is perfectly placed in the light.
Excellent

Hello Ryan
Long time since your last image, master stroke pulled of by yourself by positioning the lady in the right spot, shows the depth of the rocks. Super lighting and colours compliment this scene, I really like the shadow from the girl also.
Well done
Jim

Hello Ryan,
I have hiked in this area. Great place to visit as is this capture.
Adding the person for scale is a good idea.
The lighting is exceptional.
Have a good weekend.

Hi Ryan, you are master photographer because your work is always amazing and of such high quality. You managed the exposure here to perfection and the inclusion of the person really is brilliant. Best regards Steve.

Just by looking into this picture, i knew its one of yours. The posture of the human element emphasize a dreaming child and the contrast of colors is perfect, excellent shot, bravo Ryan.

Hello Ryan,

You're right! It's like a face! Very interesting rock formations, nice light, good contrast, nice shaded parts and the person there really adds a nice touch to the compo!!

Greetings,
Dennis

Great light here Euryan! I can see that you're still in love with your polarizer and it keeps delivering great output. I have been forgetting mine more and more... Don't like what I see when I used it on my wide-angle. But here it's great. Adding the person to the compo was a great move, one that I am seeing you use more and more... Don't forget to take also some pictures without the help of your family. ;) I like the compo because this rock on the foreground left adds some depth into the scene. But a close crop of the both subjects would have worked perfectly too. Nice to have you back.

PS: If I am not active, what can I say about you...? :)

Hi Ryan
Fantastic scenery taken in such a beautiful light. The sky, the vertical format and the fact that you have included the person makes it so dynamic.

Hello Ryan! I just came back from this part of the world and I am always excited when other members come up with "red stone" but when I see yours I delete my collection :) Just kidding, it is not so bad but your versions are always a great inspiration that I also took to Utah in June and tried to remember when I stood there somewhere in Escalante land. Including the girl is the real treat in this one and how she looks up studyig the stone formation. Your photo brings me back to a wonderful time, Utah is fantastic and I am not yet over and I hope I will have the chances to return. Wonderful work ... thanks ... Barbara.

Ryan
Truly is face to face image, a stare down contest, Very impressive landscape, perfect sky and cloud for backdrop, the evening light provide warm but gentle color to enhance the beauty of the red rocks. Perfect sharpness and clarity. Great shot.
There is so many amazing beauty in the US. It baffles me that so many of the people I know from the U.S. have never see the beauty of our country. They have been abroad but never set foot out of the city where they live other than Las Vegas. I don’t get it? What about all the Natural parks in Utah, Arizona, Colorado, Montana, Wyoming and many more…go see them. It’s mind blowing some of these place…Thanks for this one, I have not yet been.
Way

hello Ryan,
I looked at the WS (not that I can see much in that size...) and I have to say I prefer the original, the darker part works well as a frame, and together with the shadow in the foreground it also adds a sense of depth. love the colours, and, of course, the sky, the smoke-like clouds are perfect for creating a striking contrast with the textures of the rock. and with the girl just in the right place the photo can be filed under "superb" :) excellent work, my compliments.

with best regards,
Kristine

Hello Ryan!
Beautiful shot, with great blue sky and beautiful golden colors.
I like the idea of the person looking up to the rock: it gives proportion, but a sense of vertical prospective also, something like a pyramid!
I like also your framing with the dark column of rock on the left but I can't avoid wondering about a close up on the boy-golden rock couple...
My best compliments
Laura

Ryan,
an absolute great framing of this action between the hoodoo and the person in twisted motion looking up to the top of the hoodoo. The colors are just right shining in the last glow of the day. Wonderful polarized sky to contrast against the warm colors of the sandstone.
