White Smurfs

Some of the rock color/composition contrasts within the Bisti/De-na-zin wilderness area are quite stark. In this case I was struck by the brilliant bluish/white overlaid by the much harder orange/brown sandstone layer and the contrasts the layers present. The Bisti is full of unique contrasts that are surprisingly difficult to find good compositions in just because there is no real start/stop to the features. Having a good range of lenses with you helps when you need to isolate your subject. For the record this image was shot with a 100-400mm f/4.0L.

An interesting formation in the Bisti/De-na-zin wilderness, New Mexico.

C&C always welcome.

Nice way to isolate a featured when none really stand out alone.

How interesting!

This is sure cool Alan! I have always enjoyed the color contrast between the gray/white and the browns there. You captured a nice view of it.

Alan,
You succeeded to create a very interesting can compelling comp. The use of contrast in color and texture really rocks here ( pun fully intended)
Regards,

I like this a lot. The color contrasts and shapes are interesting, but I really like how you captured the details.

Very interesting shot, Alan. The restricted colours really work here and the longer lens probably helps in composition in these terrains.
