Gee. You flew over and I walked across. Isn't it just an amazing place? How small did you feel? What a grand (no pun intended) image. You can see the different layers so clearly. Well done.

A very nice shot. I like the softening in the far wall of the canyon and the detail in the striations of the near wall. Beautiful colors and very nice presentation.

WOW! That would have been a lot of (stunning) fun! The helicopter ride certainly gave you a wonderful POV... and I like the crevice that pull the viewer's eye deeper in to the canyon. However,I think this work would have benefitted from putting it through a dehaze post-processing ...so the viewer could see even more detail, rather than the pesky pollution that plagues the Grand Canyon.

    Yes, it was a great experience! Thanks for your nice review. Not sure I have heard of dehazing. Where can such programs be obtained?

Very, very nice! It is nice to see a non-cliche image of the Grand Canyon. Looks like you had a little haze that day but the layers of color still come quite strongly. And you captured the vastness of the canyon to boot. Very, very nice work.

Dramatic, hazy, misty capture of this natural sculptures!
Great high vantage angle as opposed to my beach scenes.
Diffused focusing.
Those reddish layers accentuate this monotone image nicely.
Thanks for sharing...

This landscape just looks fantastic, and I actually like a lot that the background is sitting in a haze, because it adds depth to your photo. Your POV is also excellent and it is fine leading lines to be seen bringing the viewer into the composition.

The foreground is standing out sharp showing both well defined details and great textures in the rocks, and the exposure is very good.

The photo is well framed and with the clear rock formations on the right, the composition has got a fine balance. Indeed a lovely and well taken photo, and with an excellent DOF.
