Snow Canyon State Park near St. George, Utah (SW corner of the state). Named
after an early pioneer as it seldom snows in this area. The Petrified Dunes were
once regular sand dunes but now all the grains are glued together for the benefit
of hikers and photographers, probably from volcanic activity. A great place for
leg workouts. Just don't step on the Moqui Marbles (thousands of marble sized
sandstone rocks found mostly on the flatter areas).

Comments by Jan Bjorklund on Mon, 03/26/12 16:27 The sense of texturing, the colors and the lighting all work hand in hand to create a superb landscape composition. I find a black background color works to enhance all these elements for me. Comments by Paul Bracey on Tue, 03/27/12 04:12 Nice work. Comments by Tracy Elsinger on Tue, 03/27/12 08:12 VERY nice shot; as far as I'm concerned, this is a perfect photo - no adjustment needed. Good job! Comments by Sal Santostefano on Tue, 03/27/12 12:48 Ditto Tracy Comments by Bob Buckles on Tue, 03/27/12 19:37 Intersting subject abd well captured Jeff. I'm sure it was difficult to not "blow out" the light area in the foreground and still keep the background area. Comments by Jacky on Tue, 03/27/12 22:02 Beautiful. Comments by Sandi MacDonald on Wed, 03/28/12 09:50 The textures on these rocks are so interesting. A great piece.;-) Comments by Bob Buckles on Wed, 03/28/12 15:13 Jeff, is this an HDR image? Comments by G.B. SHETTLER on Fri, 03/30/12 15:18 Looks like a real Bizzare place with the formations and colors. LOvely Image.
