I have almost this exact shot hanging in my living room! I shot this same feature during my visit there this summer. The slot canyons were one of the main reasons I wanted to make the trip out there, and I wasn't disappointed. What a remarkable place.

At first glance, this looked like a man's right leg stomping down. Excellent abstract with some great humanlike shapes.

This is a neat effect.

Compositionally, you have done well to have three main elements (two people on either side of the light), but because they are basically linear, it makes the composition feel a bit static. Perhaps if the light was higher in the frame, or further forward, it would help to create a stronger composition by giving the eye a broader path to follow.

Technically, I really like what you did with the light. It is a touch blown out, and a bit nebulous looking, but the "ray" or beam is very interesting. It kinda looks like a science fiction or fantasy movie where they find a relic, it glows, and they are whisked away to another world.

I think it is a very interesting shot, and could really tell a story. However, when voting, the voters seem to want the obvious and the clear. Your shot may have suffered from that.

Best to you in future challenges.

Very ethereal. Not a real cold feeling from me, though.

Back to comment: It is very difficult to make out if there is snow on the ground or what. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and consider it to be snow and very cold. However, the image itself is very static looking and has no real focal point of interest to draw in the viewer. The front tree on the left side of the image makes it difficult to look deeper into the woods, even on the right side of the image, as my eye keeps being dragged back to the tree on the left. Hope my comments help in some way.
