Beautiful vista -- a touch more shadow contrast would really make this sing.

What a view! Love the rich dark colours and the promise of the rising sun about to illuminate the scene.

Hi

A lovely scene and an enjoyable shot - personally this is probably an image / lighting option that would have me reaching for a ND filter

All the best
Matthew

Great composition and wonderful drama in the sky. I wish for a stronger sunburst, though.

A great photograph is absorbed by the eyes and stored in the heart.

Hi Keith! I'm on the fence on this one. I guess ultimately I would like just a touch more detail in the shadows. With that said, I do think it works fine as is and I have to commend you on keeping the canyon a bit more realistic and not blowing it up HDR style like I often see. The colors and tones are just rich and thick and beautiful because of it. Looks really natural. Composition-wise, I'd like to see some more on the left to help offset the looming rock in the foreground right. Perhaps that slight brightening of the canyon would help a lot there as the ridge hidden in shadow would balance the right side very nicely.
