 Our family visited Bryce Canyon in Utah during our vacation this week. These weird rock formations, called hoodoos, are plentiful. I was particularly intrigued with this one. To make it stand out more against the background, I selected it and adjusted the levels and saturation for the hoodoo and the background separately (slightly desaturating the background) to get the effect I wanted.

To give the viewer a clear point to focus, maybe desaturate all but the darker orange piller. This would add to the depth of the shot imho.

It seems to me like a horrible name for a band. The shot seems to lack any sense of depth or much differentiation between the different rock formations, leading to a rather disinteresting mesh of brown.

Nice use of solid text in matching colours to image content. I kind of like this but it's just a touch bland. 7

Well done..my only criticism (this is personal choice) would be to try the text in a more contrasting colour (black maybe).

Interesting photo. I'm not crazy about the band name. It seems shoehorned to fit the photo. IMO, the band name should have determined the photo content, rather than the other way around. I could be wrong in my assumption--this is just how it seems to me. The text is decent but I think "hoodoo" should not be resting right on the edge of the frame.

i really like the way you did the design. the faded lettering works well. i also like how close it is to the edges. nice job.

Good shot, but to really give it some "punch" you should try dodging and burning it a bit.
