Hello Phuoc,
You choose a magic moment to take this photo, with the low light illuminating a sculpted sky and creating a soft play of light and shadows which highlights the structure of the canyon walls. Light very well managed.
A pleasure to look at.
regards,
Paul

Un endroit souvent photographié, mais la touche personnel est superbe avec le soleil écrasé entre le ciel et le relief..
Bon travail

Hi Phuoc

Great shot of this amazing place, I was there in March.
Excellent use of the wide angle lens, great composition. I know you had to lean over the edge to get this, scary!!

Hi phuoc,
I like this alot - excellent natural light management and stunning colors in this very wide angle shot. I have stood at the same pace but could not capture the entire "horseshoe" with my 18mm lens. Well done and TFs. Gerald

Greetings Phuoc,

I stumbled across this image and I am so glad I did! It is mind-blowingly beautiful. You should be very proud of this capture, seriously.

The composition is superb, the lighting fantastic, colors deep and warm, clarity and DOF excellent, and the moment of shutter click - impeccable. I have no idea how you got that close to the edge, but you have way more cajones than I do!!

This is a remarkable piece of work. Hearty conratulations!

Best from California,

Rachel
