The Zion Narrows - such a mystical place - you captured it well here - I like the low angle - getting close to the water.

Wonderful place indeed, and incredible light and colors. The exception proves the rule... Central horizon is ok for me here

To hell with the rule - what is important is the comparison play between near and far elements. So far I have seen you stick to that pretty well for all your magnificent compositions.

Just some bare rules I have seen:
- Good play and contrast between the near (details in the ground) and the distance.
- Morning/Evening golden light and sidelighting
- Wait for the clouds
- Slow the motion down beyond 1s exposure to make it smoky
- Graduated filters for overall great exposure.

I like this one, but if you were moderately OK using PS I probably would recommend spot masking to bring out a little more variation in tone and contrast. This would be an overall very subtle effect and damn near impossible to do by standard darkroom dodge and burn.

Oh - be sure to break that rule of thirds and go 50/50 on any water reflections as well...

I love the rule of thirds and I believe that the
3rds rule of composition will more often or not give you a better than ordinary image - but breaking the rule makes a lot of sense in so many intances - in this image it works for you because of the strong foreground object.
If you look at http://www.usefilm.com/image/1003721.html - I have the reflection more or less smack in the middle - but in each of the left to right 3rds there are "features" so the 3rds rule is broken - but heck - what else could I do. Love your work.
