Nice and rich tonalities.

What are those two white spots on the right side?

Great eyes Slobodan! It was light spots.
I was uploading the minor retouches before I saw your massage. It was a little distracting.

Thanks

Wonderful B&W work. I don't recall the last image of this very popular spot that I've seen done this way. Make it unique to my eye.

Very fine image - I'm pleased not to get another color shock from this location.
I wished you could fix the sand floor somehow to not being used so much.
OTOH - the mix of used up floor and heavenly rock formation has something too.

Very nice.  It's nice to see something a bit different and so well handled from Antelope.

I love this one. The walls look like a flower seen from the inside.

Nice B&W work, it really brings the textures alive. I suppose there is not much one can do to avoid the footsteps on the sand.

Thanks very much Paulo! The foot steps is "it is what it is". It is impossible to avoid them nowadays.

I checked out your web galleries and really enjoyed your work.  You certainly get to travel to some beautiful places.  I'm sure the prints are nothing short of stunning!  I'm curious how you print your BW work?  Eg. Advanced BW Mode with Epson?

Have you considered a gausian blur to a selection of the floor or a highlight shadows adjustment to bring up the deeper shadows? Sometimes it looks quite awful but not done to the extreme it can reduce attention to the footprints.

Thanks so much HSakols & mkihne for your complements and advice. The foot prints are "it is what it is" and I actually like them. They are telling a story.
I've been using Epson 4900 in advanced BW mode.
