Nevermore. This is my resolution each time I try to photograph the Grand Canyon. I expect that the real beauty is captured only when one gets a little way into the thing, by foot, mule, or helicopter. In any case, If one considers this to be a photo of the raven with the Grand Canyon as a scenic backdrop, the photo seems much better. But this raises the question of cropping. What if the phot were cropped severely so that the sky was no longer in the photo and the outside 10-20% of the left and right edges were gone. What if the raven sat on a 'rule of thirds' intersection? What if a longer lens had been used and the canyon had more bokeh (Or this were done in Photoshop) What if we boosted the saturation so the oranges and violets of the canyon complement the black silhouette of the bird? They are just questions. I like the photo and I imagine if I took it I'd be trying some of these ideas in Photoshop. But then I have all day...
