Sunset over the Canyon, a photo from Arizona, West

Photographer's Note

The sunset from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon is always a magic moment. Looking east one can enjoy the view of the rocks that become orange, whereas looking west the canyons create many layers of different contrast, as they are lightned by the setting sun. This is from one of the many vista points.

Hello Stefano,

This time, I am not totally convinced. Mainly because of the contrast decreased by the flare induced by the point of view almost in front of the light.
The idea is good, but the flare too high.

Yves.

Hello Stefano,
A beautiful image with those hazy recessions. Well done for having some sharp FG in the corner. I slightly prefer the picture with the sky cropped out although I realise that you probably want to show the canyon rim.
Excellent atmosphere - very well done.
Regards, Ann

Hi Stefano,

You're capturing well this canyon with sunset by a good angle and tasteful tone, so it's impressive and interesting to see the canyon dyed to sunset and some layers of it. And, trees at left side gives good effect for the whole.
