color the canyon from within

I am interested in your comments. Thank you for your time. Dan

La luz, los colores, los tonos, la nitidez. Una fotografia con personalidad.

i assume this was from a walk into the canyon. amazing place. i spent two weeks rafting through the canyon, and it changed my life. (see my portfolio for a few shots from the colorado river looking up.)

 

wonderful colours & depth of field.

 

Thank you Antonio and Kat. As far as where the shot was taken, we were about a 1/3 of the way down the south rim. We hiked across from south to north rim in a day (very much not recommended, but I run marathons and I was with a group of experts who have done the hike many times). The canyon drops over a mile down to the colorado river (the hike was about 22 miles). It was amazing, and way too hot. Thank you again for your comments. Dan

Very beautiful. excellent DOF, regards

Hello Dan. As Joao comments, what most I like is the big DOF, and also the colours and the honest light. I love walk and climb, so I think you enjoyed that day, sure. Best regards from Eugenio.

Thank you Joao Pereira and Eugenio. Somehow this image hasn't captured much attention from the PN audience. While I like it, maybe it isn't "glitzy" enough. Just for fun I might try a high saturation version and see how it does. Anyway, thank you again. Dan

In my opinion, saturation is just fine. For me this place is so magic, that I could never get tiered of seeing pictures of it, specially done so proficiently as the ones you've posted. The hike from rim to rim must be fantastic, and not only for the scenery, I bet it is a tremendous challenge to go through the ups and downs carrying a camera (my guess is you wouldn't take it with you on a marathon). Do keep on posting more like this. Cheers!

Beautiful and expertly captured. I particularly like the shadow and highlights in the foreground. Best regards

Simplicity at its best. Nice work with light and shadow. Like it.

Juan, Tony, and Kaushik, thank you for your very kind words. It is a beautiful place. Thanks again. Dan

Lovely light and colors, you choose a great place for taking photos, wonderful piece of nature.

This is a wonderful shot. Makes me wanna be there! Nice work.
