In Marcy 2025 John and I visited several Utah national parks, staying in Moab then Kanab for a few days each. There had been a fresh snowfall a few days before at Bryce, so we made sure we visited there on the way to Kanab to catch the scenery.

I have visited Bryce Canyon National Park a number of times. There are many good photo options to be found there. I like your image because the snow gives the geologic formations more dimension along with the color variations and the sky has interest in the wispy clouds. It appears to be tilted to the left but I know that could be the way it is there.   Posted: 04/17/2025 15:12:47

Yes it's the natural incline of the landscape. Notice that the hoodoos are all vertical. Thanks for your input.   Posted: 04/20/2025 19:39:09

Excellent image. Love all the color tones..blue sky, the snow with deep green vegetation and the orangish rock formation. It is these mix makes the image great.   Posted: 04/27/2025 21:25:02

This of course is the shot that we have all seen and love. I was there also and am trying to remember if it was possible to be able to get down at bit lower and be shooting up at the hoodoos instead of down at them. I don't remember if there was a POV that allowed that. I guess that just means we will have to go back to Bryce Canyon again.   Posted: 04/28/2025 07:44:26

It is a beautiful image of Bryce Canyon; I like the snow just enough, the canyon gap position within one-third of the image, and the color contrast of the sky, clouds, white show, and brown-yellow canyon. The threes are in harmony. For me, I would love to see more of the sky to balance it better.   Posted: 04/29/2025 19:18:24

The colors, the texture, and the snow are all beautiful. I would also like to see more of the sky to help balance the rest of the photo.   Posted: 04/30/2025 00:33:44
