I took this image while I was at Horseshoe Bend (I know, it's been photographed a million times but thought I would stop by while I was at Antelope Canyon). The bend in the river is directly to my left and on this morning I was the only person at the site. Just thought this might be an interesting shot as this spot usually has dozens of people sitting/standing on it. :)

This is a very unusual view from HSB but you were lucky… no crowd. I like the soft colors and the red/orange rock formation typical of the place. You proved that there's more than one way tp take photos of that popular place.
Well done.

Then again, there is a reason one sight is shot millions of times and the other... one too many ;)

Yes, because millions of tourists (one too many?) shoot pictures of it.

VERY nice! You have done a great job of making the photo look real, this is one that could easily be over-processed and come out garish and fake-looking. My only comment is that the small green plant at bottom center might be totally in, or totally out of, the frame.

I just noticed that green plant. I think I'll crop it out. :)

Beautiful hues and tones. Did you happen to catch slightly more dramatic light? It would certainly complement the rock.
Have you thought about this in black & white? With the mid-tone contrast bumped up, you could bring out a lot of the subtle detail in the weathered rock strata.

I think I will a B&W conversion and see how it looks. :)
