Horseshoe Bend Crystal Ball

Page, AZ view map

A creative take on this very popular vantage point, cropped from the original to put more
emphasis on the scene in the crystal ball. This is a merge of three exposures for HDR.

Wonderful creativity and planning to create this unique and spectacular image. So much more comfortable having the sphere at the rock edge than standing there shooting down. Superb clarity and DOF in this fantastic capture Sam. VVV
