[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Most of what visitors look at when at the Grand Canyon is "the canyon". For this shot I noticed this old, surviving tree, barley rooted at the edge of the canyon.

Hi Michael
Well done with this shot. I like the desaturated look to the canyon as it allows the tree to dominate the image.

Hi Michael:

Fantastic shot of this beautiful place. It's hard to get a shot of the Grand Canyon that captures its vastness, but this one does it quite well, partially because of the lighting, I think. Great job.

Hi Michael
I like the view and the composition. The Fg is very well composed with good exposure. the BG is fantastic as for the view but to me is a little too expose and the colours went flat a little.
But is a nice shot
cheers

Daaaaayum.
I am struck speechless by this shot. It gives me vertigo. I am stunned, truly, at a loss for words. What a view! What splendid composition! What marvelous light! Excruciating detail, depth, contrasts. Beautiful sky... Extraordinary shot! Just incredible. Many thanks and warmest wishes,
Shelly
