Here's the last one from this weekend. It's a slightly different composition from the last one. It seems a little better balanced. I suppose sunrise and sunset here might not give as much detail down in the canyons as mid-day. Anyone have recommendations for shooting here or this area in general?

I like the way you framed the canyon here - it works very well.

Nice, i think this is the best of the set!

I agree with Stan, this is amazing!

Beautiful. Very dramatic lighting.

The foreground works very well to frame the canyon. The vignette on the bottom enhances the framing, but I am unsure about it in the ULC. I like the rays of sunlight coming down throught the clouds.

A clean comp here Russ. Nice light as well.

Sweet shot!

I like this one much better than the first! It's not just the better skies, but the composition is a lot better.
Here the canyon rims aren't so tight against the frame and the elimination of the tree on the right (present in the first) in favor of the 'ghost tree' on the left (here) makes a very big difference to my eye. I really like how the branches successfully fill in the large 'blank' area near the rim of the canyon. Glad you were there to see and capture this scene!
