John Wesley Powell"s dream

Love the soft lighting and layered look in this photo, Bruce. It almost looks like a Japanese print.

Thanks for posting it.

Love the layers in the shadows.

Thanks Gary for the comment. I had never thought of it in "Japanese Print", but I see what you mean. Thanks -- Bruce

Mike - Thank you.

Bravo Bruce. The various levels of the mountains that fade to the horizon give the sense of the vastness of this area, ciao Giangiorgio

Perfect.

Franz -- I'm still striving for "perfect". But I'm pretty happy with this shot. Thanks so much for the comment. -- Bruce

I love the depth and warmth of this image, Bruce, well presented. As far as the textured effect you asked about, I either used corel paint shop pro or my version of photoshop, can't be sure of which. Thanks for your comment though, all the best.

Superb! I love the softness and barely discernable details that only emerge when you stare at a section and can see the banded striations. I especially love the hint of blue sky at the top left. Masterful!

Wow. This is a really beautiful image. It showcases the harshness of the landscape [in the left foreground], but at the same time provides a lovely gentleness of the terrain - the extreme sidelighting achieves that. Masterful shot! - Aina

Fabulous!!
