Beautiful shot! I like the way how you took part of a rock formation and made it into the frame. Wonderful Job!

Good idea using the upper rock like a frame, but the rock walls seem a bit pale the redness in the rocks should have been brighter then it would have been an excellent picture.

Love it!Faved

Breathtaking vista view.... I can almost smell the rock! While the colors are somewhat subdued I think they also allow for a great sense of depth and pastel like details. There's really a lot going on in this shot. Powerful stuff.

I also at first glance thought the colors are subdued, but then again, the colors in that area are subdued, so I think this is a great shot!

Very good view,the photo is really nice.

Thanks Everyboby!

It's an interesting perspective you've shot this one from; different geologic structures at different distances and the use of the arch overhead to enclosed the distant view. It's a nice image but it's experiencing some challenges. In the movie "The Bridges of Madison County," clint Eastwood plays National Geographic photographer Robert Kincaid. When he first arrives at the bridge in question, he mentions the poor light and takes a few preliminary setup shots, intending to return the next morning when the light may be better. This is a common practice for the serious shutterbug. Looking at your photo I see a variety of clouds and light in the distant sky. I'm assuming the cloud cover was changing that day fairly rapidly (the broken cloud edges indicate a wind up high). By waiting a while you might have had better light arriving to give better contrast to that rock formation in the foreground, bringing the photo to life. Or you might have used some fill flash for the foreground, warming it later in Photoshop. It seems a bit flat here. Likely there was a cloud overhead at the time. Also, your submission is tilted 2 and 3/4 degrees up on the left (as indicated by the distant plateau -- plateaus are almost always level). I took the liberty of downloading a copy and adjusting the tilt, shadows, highlights, color contrast, and sharpness in Photoshop and finished with an Accented Edge filter. The result looks like a painting. I do not mean to demean your photo but sometimes a different treatment can make a big difference. If you'd care to see what I've done to your piece I'd be happy to provide you with a copy. It's just another way of looking at things - not right or wrong.

great image here.. I too see a bit of tilt and some post work would have helped with the overall appeal.. great eye and presentation...=D

I love this picture! I saw it on here before when i wasn't remember and I thought it was soo good! beautiful shot, I might go to the grand canyons this summer and I'll probably take like 2000 pictures lol.

great job! :D

Nice picture. I like this landscape
