Grand Ole View

Just got back from my first trip to the Grand Canyon. I stayed on the South Rim because I wasn't going to be there long and so most of my photos are from various viewpoints along the rim. This photo is of the Grand View overlook. There were a few other photographers already setup when I got there but my dad and I were the only ones to stick around until the sun went down. I've learned my lesson that I would rather leave in the dark than miss an opportunity for a better shot. So this one was captured earlier on in the evening and the pink and purple colors were just amazing. My only self-critique is that the greenery is softer than I would like (and the compression to post here makes it even softer).
