Gunaydin Hakan,
It's a very beautiful sandstone formation. Colors, light and the contrast is great. Very good POV and composition.

Your photo reminded me of the rock formations and the prehistoric rock paintings of Latmos mountains in Bafa Lake.

Hi Hakan

Just got up and turned PC on - and this was the first shot I saw. Great way to start my day. You have handled this shot well - these pale sandstones (forget their name - entenada?) have a tendency to burn out in photographs, but here you have caught their creamy-yellow quality, set against the wonderful blue of the high desert sky.

Merhaba Hakan,
What is not to like in a shot like this eh!
Amazing swirls in the rocks, it looks like cookie dough when the beaters have been pulled out!
The contrast of the warm rock colours against the blue sky is of course without parallel! Very nice detail in the rock.

Hello Hakan,
This is very stunning. This desert is so rich in history and legends that it might be very impressive to be there. I like this picture a lot with this super texture, details, color's saturation, POV and composition. Contrast and lightning are amazing too. The picture in WS is so interesting, that must be something to see; it is like a time travel, wow! Well done with interesting notes. Thanks,

Hi Hakan,
Stunning quality image!
I like so much the incidence of sun rays, and the magnificent colors it gets from the stones and desert.
They're so rich in textures! Just look at it!
How much early in the morning it was taken?
It's really good the color saturation -just the way I like it- and the high contrast between deep blue of sky and intense yellow of rocks.
I think the composition made here is barely impossible to be better.
Congratulations and many thanks for share it.
Warm regards,
JM

Fabulous and purely amazing!! If I had known that I might find such wonders in the desert outside of Las Vegas, I'd have stayed there a few days instead of using it only as a pit stop between air planes!
You've captured this brilliantly too: in a composition that is artful and artistic

Hi Hakan

This is a very beautiful and interesting rock formation. You ddi great to escape that conference and take a walk through such a magnificent place.
I also visited a small part of the Mohave 2 years ago and i remember some interesting sights ;)
Anyway, the erotion on this rock is really so well visible and the rather low-light raelly enhances all the shadows nicely.
The colors are brilliant and superbly saturated and the contrast between the rock and that perfect blue sky is most impressive.
Interesting shot in the WS, too ;)

Bravo and TFS

Hi Hakan,
You are doing the TN community a great service by taking out these priceless gems from your rich collection of slides and photographs from the pre-digital era, my friend.
This fantastic creation of nature in the Mojave Desert may be a often-frequented destination of tourists as of today, but your capture of it (on slide, I presume)almost a decade ago is a real work of art in addition to its documentary value.
The power of polarizer becomes manifest in pictures of this standard only where the synergy between the orangish-brown of the sandstone and the blue of the sky turns into sheer poetry.
Thanks a lot for showing us this amazing picture.

Hello Hakan,
Striking colors that contrast very well..
I think it's composed well and the POV is excellent. Great detail, & I like light/shadow I see.
I don't think there's a more interesting piece of rock in the universe..but what do I know ;}
Very well done & a pleasure to view.

Hi Hakan,
A very beautiful photo with such rich colors and wonderful details. The blue sky contrasts great with the yellow colored rock. The composition is really good, eventhough I might have croped a little from the right. I really do like the layers of the rock running diagonal. I also like the note, especially the trivia part.
