This is exceptional! You have such amazing talent

Eia

This is unexpected from the typical shot taken there. It is wonderful. The mountain side is so detailed with this finish! NICE.

Love it Aaron. Good work

Love the composition and the pp! It's funny for me to read references to the 'standard' images of Zion. Since I've never been there and haven't looked at any Zion photo books, I don't know what the standard views are. I do know that, standard or not, your approach gives a great sense of Zion being a magical place.

I absolutely agree!!

Amazing photo Aaron!

Print it! Print it nice and large! It would look extrodinary on metallic paper!!

Wow! Extra-fine work Aaron.

thank you everyone, those are very kind words from you and they lift my spirits!

Halite, you need to visit. i would hope i could go with you....
sad thing is i only get there 3-4 times a year....
its kinda like being a surfer, living on the beach only to goto work everyday instead of surfing....

Sam

Aron,

I think this is a very nice image. The composition, PP, and over all feel works well here.

I would however recommend printing this on Hahnemuhle photo rag, (or similar) to enhance the soft warm feel of the image.

Sam, i will keep that in mind, ive never used that before... ive used the canon rag before and never found a match...but now you point it out i think you are right on this one!



CW, im still on the fence with metallic.... i have a few 5x7 test prints of bryce canyon on metallic....so im just going to sit on the idea for awhile...
for me metallic really looks nice on sunset beach images.... but im limited on those shots...i gotta get down there soon!!!!

I've seen a few shots with rock/stone textures in them on metallic and really liked the effect, but it's not for everyone (truthfully I haven't printed one of my own on metallic yet), plus I've never used the type of paper Sam recommended either...

Anyway... come on down for some beach sunsets!! I've got a few places picked out I need to get to for sunsets and would be happy to share!

It's going on my must visit list then. I know the feeling about working in, but not adequately being able to take advantange of, a great spot: NYC feels that way to me sometimes.

My brother-in-law was just showing me some images printed on gorgeous rag paper--I forget the name, but I'll check with him. This paper really excels with the kind of subtle tonal variations found in your image and has a gorgeous white. Metallic would be interesting, but it tends to print more contrasty in monochrome images. So you would likely lose some of the subtle tonal gradations that make this image so strong.

Great shot Aaron

Very nice shot Aaron. Love the mood and the composition.

I would listen to Sam on the paper choice. I don't think this would show best on metallic. Rag or something softer with more texture is the way to go.

Halite

The paper I referred to in my previous post is Hahnemuhle Bamboo. This paper just glows and handles subtle tonal variations tremendously.

thanks everyone!

Halite, thanks for getting that info, i will put in a request to a few people and see which master printer is going to do it for a poor boy...

let me ask you, how was it framed? under glass? was is wrapped ? or flat on gator board?
