Had to submit a more intimate shot after my earlier grand landscape submission for this WC. This one portrays detail from a rock wall while at Capital Reef NP in 2016. Luminance and clarity have both been increased a bit. Sony a6000 with the 18-200mm lens, ISO 125, f/10, 1/80 hand held. All comments and suggestions are welcome and thanks for viewing.

Lovely and colorful. As a geologist, I find these fine (as in thin) layers of sand interesting. What’s really interesting, though, is that vertical fracture. Perhaps this would make a nice square crop of just the right half. I think that would have nice balance and the fracture could be more prominent in the frame.
Gorgeous image Jim! I really like the vertical cracks, texture and color! When I first glanced I thought it was a freshly split redwood log. Well done!
Repost. Thank you @Bonnie_Lampley and @marian for your suggestion. I applied a square crop, but moved the frame over a bit because the verticle crack ended up dead center, which I didn’t care for. I like it!
Jim, the layers and their color look great here. Your cropped version also works very well. Nicely seen and presented. I’ve added repost to your title to show viewers your addition. You can also upload modified versions to the original post, if you want a viewer to be able to view both (or all) versions simply by using the arrows that show on the sides of the window in the large view.
Excellent, Jim. I was going to comment that I really liked the staircase crack element, and then I saw the crop that emphasized it more. Both are really nice images.
