While looking in the files to find an image for this month's theme, I came across these two images from the North Rim this past summer. Each is a two image blend for exposure.

That first image is incredible Doug. The curve in the lower left draws you right into the great light and ridges of the canyon. Great processing as well.

Both are quite good, Doug! #1 is certainly the strongest with that interesting foreground. I think that the more blue sky that you crop from it, the better. The eye just seems to flow easier and it brings the image back to a more 'normal' ratio.

Doug, I really love that curved foreground rock formation in #1. Agree with John's recommendation to crop just a tad bit of that blue sky.

I agree both are excellent and with the crop of the sky in #1. A very, very strong comp in #1.
