Desert Eclipse (Best at Full Size)

Every once in awhile I see something in the viewfinder that just really excites me with the possibilities and this happens to be on of those images. After 4 hours of twisting and turning in the narrow confines of Antellop Canyon I spotted this series of repeating curves and some nice light and the rest is history. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did viewing it in person!

Sweeping curves of sandstone each eclipsed by the previous layer withing Antelope Canyon
