Convergence

Please view the larger photo.

I'm sure this is a familiar scene for those who have hiked the Narrows. I really like how most of the major lines of the canyon walls, the river, the banks, and the trees converge at a point in the background.

make sure you view the larger image, the smaller one doesn't do it justice!
I love how the red wall and the black wall contrast with the beautiful fall colours! Well done

Really nice, Jim. The colors are lovely and I also enjoy the converging lines. This works well in this pano format, too. One of these days I really must hike the Narrows.

Beautiful light and color for this image. I also like the use of tree curve as a leading line into image.

I want to see more... beautiful colors and composition. Print it large and hang it proudly.

Excellent shot Jim - a wonderful variety of elements that all blend together nicely - much better than just another icon shot.

That's a wonderful shot, Jim. I love the panorama crop and how all the colors interact with each other.

I like the golds against the red walls and the glow on the water. I would crop the lime green trees off the left side to make it a stronger composition. It would balance the rule of third a lot more. Of course very beautiful as is.

The pano does a great job of emphasizing the trees. This is very nice.

Excellent comp and the pano format emphasizes the yellow trees leading back to the canyon. Beautiful colors and light as well.

Jim,
I really like the pano crop; it's a different perspective. The transition from the warm to cool is also very nice.

Love the pano treatment here. It displays the various colors, shapes and elements in a very well balanced composition. Nice work!

This is wonderful, Jim! It was nice meeting you again in the Left Fork. Looks like conditions had only gotten better since.
