Greetings from the Critique Club!

A very interesting and dramatic shot of the infamous Grand Canyon. If there is a slight tilt to the right, it doesn't bother me, but never hurts to know where the straighten tool is for when you do need to use it.

I have to admit, the uniform purple bands in the strata visible behind the main area pretty, but gives the whole pic a cartoonish look. General rule of thumb with pp is, if the pp is more noticeable than the photo, then you've gone too far, and the voters here let nothing get by them!

Still, a good pic of a famous fault that I would like to visit in person some day. Hope to see more of your entries soon!

Been there. Didn't do that. Have to work harder (me that is). This is exemplary with a slight reservation that the background colors seem a bit oversaturated. bump anyway

Somebody should call the Sierra Club , alert them to all the wonderful photos in this challenge. It's truly amazing. What a beautiful planet we have to live on. Thanks for posting this shot.

What an amazing thing the Grand Canyon is...colors seem to be a bit dull/flat. By adding a bit more contrast I think you would be able to improve this. JMO

Bent horizon is distracting.

Your color spectrum is out of control. beautiful work, I am especially drawn to the purple rim.

It feels like this is tilted to the right...
