“Mark’s Misnomer I”

Mark Twain famously DIDNT call Waimea Canyon the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific”.  But still makes for a good story ;)

Enjoy!

Man, those are some strong rays!  I like the way the thick atmosphere creates super depth, with the canyon disappearing into the background.  The cool change from the warm upper rays hitting the cool mist and greens of the lower canyon is nice, too.

Gorgeous light and a fine mood. The warm/cool color contrast works wonderfully well here. A fine image.

Great image, Aaron. Rays and mountain profiles work really well.

Aaron,

Yeah, what everyone else said.  No nits or suggestions.  Oh wait, large view.

The golden rays fading into the blues and greens make for a pleasing canyon shot.  Temptation might be to darken the brighter green slope on the left edge.
