This photo didn’t quite turn out how I hoped it would, but it is very, very close.
From what I remember, I had a bit of trouble with balancing the light in processing. There was a version that looked flat and so I redid some of it, and the below is the best result from my attempts.
I like how there’s this rocky space that has this firm vegetation border. Makes it feel enclosed, almost.
This is my submission into the two hundred-and-ninety-fifth Lens-Artists Photo Challenge. The theme for this one is “Rock Your World“.
The host of the Lens-Artists challenges cycles weekly between the following people:
Donna is curating this one. Next week Ritva is curating.
I recommend participating in the challenges as they provide a fun way to interpret theme. If not participating, then at least you should still check out what others of the Lens-Artists community are submitting.
I hope you enjoy.

Perfect choice for the week SH. I like that you shared your struggles with it.

I love the textures of sandstone. It seems the designs are unique based upon the power of wind and water that creates abstract designs in the soft strata.
I think the image turned out well. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on processing it.

I think you did show us that, in addition to interesting whirls and swirls is the sandstone. Great submission. Thank you, SH

By the by, are my comments coming through on your site? I’m commenting but it doesn’t seem to be working.

The vegetation is a good marker for the rocks. It keeps us glued to the subject. Good job and photo!
