Great choice Rick—beautiful image with many “bands” of color!

You didn't specify that the bands had to be horizontal

Alan, all three images are so very nice––especially the gorgeous Bryce image! I've seen the Jordan image you've posted before, it's very well captured and a pleasure to see once more! The Painted Hills image is perhaps my favorite––it's a close call. (By the way, the bands of color in this Task maybe in any orientation).You didn't specify that the bands had to be horizontal

Ben, two great images, I especially love the second, perhaps my favorite. The shadowed foreground in the first image provides a nice contrast with the illuminated rocks above––well captured.

These do have changes on color but maybe not as ideal for the theme.

Trent, your images are well suited for today’s task. I like the frozen layers of ice in your first image. I really like the sunlit and shadowed canola field—good color bands. Nice composition too.

Jeffrey, all five images are beautiful. The first two images—captured via drone? Very nice. I like your out-of-the-box thinking—the rainbow image is definitely ‘bands of color.’ The Death Valley image is perhaps my favorite—difficult to choose among them.
Thanks for submitting these Trent! After I saw the ones from Alan and Ben my mind went blank for any I could submit. Your ice one really made me think of some other photos I have that could fit this. Now, I just have to find them.
Awesome submissions Jeffrey!
With #2, did you take from launching up at Skyline Overlook? I really love how much you got into that image.

Here are some banded rocks. The first two are the Chinle Formation in Arizona and the second is from the north rim of the Gand Canyon.

Doug, it’s amazing to see such pronounced bands in your second image—wow! I like the sloping angle of the first image’s composition from N. Coyote Buttes. The composition of the Grand Canyon image Is also well captured.

Thanks Jim. None here from Skyline. Those two are from Cowdung rd, which is close! #2 is a multiple frame pano.

Jameel, great variety for this Task—nice color ‘bands’ in the coastal image—perfect placement of the sailboat. The Death Valley image is also an interesting example for this Task. The subtle colors of the Palouse landscape is perhaps my favorite—thank you for sharing!
When I looked at #2, I thought well I guess it could be a pano, but it just seemed impossible to have created! So that's why I was thinking well maybe you flew that far out from Skyline. I can't imaged making a pano like that with my Mini 2, so #2 to me is even more awesome knowing you created it from multiple images.
