I spent at least half an hour waiting for this other photographer to GET OUT OF MY WAY, but now I'm glad he didn't. He gives the image a sense of perspective.
Great shot, classic professional photography. Although the depth of field causing the foreground grass to blur is a bit distracting. Perhaps this could be cropped to assist the composition. But no biggie the shot is so good it really makes little difference.
Wow...this is such a cool photo. The colors of the rock in the background, combined with the interesting hues in the foreground makes this an amazing picture. Well done!

Wow I gotta agree with your comment on being happy in the end that the other photographer didn't move out of the way. I don't think this natural wonder would be shown in its true huge size if it weren't for him, the picture would have a totally different meaning...and a meaning that wouldn't be as strong! The colors are beautiful.
My gosh this is unbelievble! Such a most dramatically awesome shot! With that photographer in this photo..yes indeed..it makes it a hudnred times a nice! Bravo Michael..bravo!!!
