This was taken on the Advanced Photography Tour of Upper Antelope Slot Canyon in Arizona, near Lake Powell. The guide took handfuls of sand, throwing it on the rock so we could photograph the sand spilling onto the canyon floor.
Shooting in RAW hides so much of the colors, especially that far below the surface above and out of direct sunlight. In Photoshop I used lens correction, shadows, highlights, dehaze and in NIK tonal contrast followed by smart sharpening. Most of the visible spectrum is there. I am still mesmerized by the rock structures carved by rushing waters so long ago.
