Critiquing, judging and Scoring of Photographs

Page Arizona CanyonWe have seen many images from this and other slot canyons.  The trick is to find a way of photographing the wonderful colors and light in a new way.  In a way that makes the viewer say “I’ve never seen it shot like that before”.  This is true of many often seen subjects.

An abstract image was selected as the subject of this composition.  This image is interesting in that it is pure color.  It’s almost an optical illusion.  The two shades of orange may appear to change place, which one is in front of the other?  It would even be possible to reorient the composition and still have a nice image.  I am not saying you should but you could.

There is one detail that gives me pause.  The lavender triangle in the lower left hand corner is a bit out of place to my eye.  I am certain the photo-artist intended it to be there but he may wish to consider allowing the image to just consist of the two orange hues.  Or if possible could this feature be larger and have a more prominent identity?
