There are a number of slot canyons in the American southwest.  For a list of these works of nature look on ‘The American Southwest’ web site http://www.americansouthwest.net/slot_canyons/index.html.  These are a favorite of photographers because of their remarkable light, color and patterns.  One of the best times to photograph these remarkable features is a high noon when the source of light reverberates off the walls.

The photographer here has attempted to give scale to the geological features by adding a person to the scene.  His fellow photographer dressed in blue ads a counter point to the rust reds of the canyon walls.  You will note the reflection of the rosy hue on his shirt and jeans.  This shot was taken at sometime other that noon.  The hues are almost pastel with little contrast in the shadows.

The subject is well placed in the composition but it would have been nice if he were in a more active posture, perhaps semi profile looking through the camera photographing.  A little more color and contrast could be added using the computer if the photo-artist wished.
