This landscape photo captures the area's essence beautifully, revealing its unique character and personality. The light and shadows, colours and, composition have worked out well. Good effort!

Thanks so much, it was the perfect spot to safely take pictures near the edge.

Comment from Charlotte Morse
It certainly is grand! And it's been on my bucket list for years, one day maybe!?
I'm so pleased you used the tree as a safe spot, though my legs have still turned to jelly being that close to the edge!
A lovely shot of an amazing landscape, great colours and composition.
Very best of luck in the contest!
Charlotte

Thanks Charlotte, it's really fabulous and quite honestly my little peep hole photo is just a tiny portion of a this enormous panorama. It will blow your mind to see just how big it is in person. Definitely go see it and if you have time, check out Sedona as well, it's not as big but it's breathtaking and one of the coolest places I've ever visited.

Thanks Lisa, I really want to go, but coming from the UK is so much more complicated and expensive! But I really must get myself sorted and go rather than just dreaming about it!! Lol
Oh yes, you're very welcome :)

Hi Lisa.. I always thought it curious how people tend to speak in hushed whispers when at the canyon.

Nice use of the available props. They make a nice frame.

Cobalt blue skies and clear air make for a view of miles and miles - ah the southwest.

This take has excellent color reproduction, camera angle, contrast and detail and is an excellent entry for this contest, good luck... Bob

A good looking image posted here into the competition! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us an enjoyable view of the dramatic location before you. Colours, textures and tones are good. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well done and good luck!

The Grand Canyon is truly an awesome (a word I rarely use) work of nature and you have really given the viewer a taste of what it is like. The tree makes a perfect frame for the photo!

Your photo is perfect and well thought out. I love how you captured the majestic mountains and sky by incorporating the unique tree. A very well thought out composition !!
