Image Description

Extensive formations in the southern section of Coyote Buttes, centered on Cottonwood Spring, a seasonal water source in a sandy valley on the east side of the main ridge. Reached by sandy tracks that generally need a 4WD vehicle, and explored by relatively easy cross-country hiking, over slickrock and dunes. Part of Vermilion Cliffs National Monument
The South Teepees can be seen at a distance from the north end of Cottonwood Cove. If you enjoy hiking, it’s well worth the effort to get over to them and you’ll be rewarded with images that not many people get!

The subjects the Teepees I’d recommend getting closer to one Teepee to fill the frame more. Perhaps lining them up to create a pattern of Teepees Large to small in the distance to create depth. Love the texture, color, and cloud cover.

Thank you @dgh for your comments and suggestions. In fact that is what I was attempting to do. The largest formation is substantially closer to the camera and out of alignment with the more distant ones. I could not make it any larger without cutting off the smallest teepee in the row.
