I still think there's just too much information here to make a
composition. I tried looking at the thumbnail to get an overall view
and it seems random, while the enlarged version seems again too flat
and not organized by the photographer. The hard thing is to figure
out how to organize this sort of found situation.
much of the intention was to capture the chaos of the patterns and sort of frame a cross section with an 80mm lens...in the responses i've been getting to this series, i'm finding a similar reaction that i felt when i saw these formations: dazzled by amazing colors, confused by the reality, puzzled as how to capture them properly...half the time, i just kept wondering if this wasn't the result of some cruel bedouin hoax where they went through the place with a paint brush! in egypt, there's a portion of the Sinai Peninsula desert where someone actually painted a good acre's worth of rock and boulders blue. They call it the "blue desert." i know i'm not a topological mathematician, however, these formations defy every physical conceptuality i can manage...if they confuse and puzzle, then, i believe, the images are successful...but i'll have to think about what you meant by "flat", when i see them, i think muscle tissue and all the curves and folds that go with it.
