This is not tonemapped single exposure using Canon 5D and 16-35 @16mm 2 sec f8 ISO 200. The 5D sure was a good old camera  :)

Per constructive criticism received, I've done a minor edit to the hot spot on top using NIK Viveza 2. I knocked down the brightness in the hot spot which created a light grey tone, then pulled down the blue in the spot to turn it into a very light yellow which matched very well with the natural patch of yellow just below the hot spot. To my eye, this worked much better than simply cropping out the hot spot which unbalanced the top of the image.

A really great exposure except for the spot of flare about 1/3 of the way down from the top, right in the middle.

Hey Dan, Nice image here. I like the unique take on this popular location with a much wider view than I've typically seen. The flare about a third down is unfortunate but could be easily cloned if you wanted to (I would, personally). Also, I think the bright highlight at the top is not really adding anything and would consider cropping that out. The colors within the canyon look nice and it is interesting to see the really blue portions contrasted with the warm in this wide shot. I love the tumbleweed and log at the bottom!

I concur with the crop from the top suggestion.
I also really like the log at the bottom....nice one!

Nice classic Antelope Canyon shot. I think cropping the super hot top would make it better.
