Thanks! I'll have to try that, I was rushing through the process for this one so I could get it posted. I do think it is a great shot, just needs a little more tlc to get it to the next level. When I get a chance I will post the original, its come a long way already!!

I believe there are all sorts of ways to see the canyon, plane rides, mule tours, and some river tours I think. I would love to camp out there and spend a few days! We went on a whim (we were in vegas), so we didn't have time to plan anything other than going and seeing it ;) The side we went to (the west side I believe) you had to have a tour bus take you to the canyon, apparently its to dangerous to do it alone, it was nice though b/c they took us to a few different spots and fed us a traditional native american ("buffet style") lunch!

Originally posted by cogerox: This is a great shot of the canyon, Ashley. You did a good job remembering the rule thirds, and your sky has some nice drama going on. Beautiful colors front to back, and you caught the light just right. The closest foreground isn't quite in focus, though. Were you using a tripod? Or perhaps you needed a higher f stop. Otherwise, a classic shot.

I actually shot this with my canon powershot, I didn't have a tri pod, just literallly point and shot this one....I did levels on the foreground and background seperately to bring out the detail in both.
