Morning Sun

That is a really cool shot, Dan. Like you, I love the way the light has illuminated the leaves on that tree.

The light on the canyon walls is nice too.

This is some gorgeous light Dan both on the tree and walls of the canyon. Beautiful find.

I like this one, Dan. Love the warm and cool tones on the rock along with the highlighted tree. I might consider burning the brighter rocks top center on the right, but really minor. Nicely done.

What a neat find. Great job putting yourself in a position of great potential and being ready to respond. Is this a scan? I wish I could see a little more detail in the web presentation and some shadows have kind of a funny blue look.

Nice find well captured! A hint of life within the stark canyon walls.

Really really cool Dan - love it. I might move the tree a bit more left via cropping to indicate the sun direction forming a line perpendicular to the big FG diagonal on the left. And I might knock down the highlights on the tree just the tiniest bit.

This definitely a nice find Dan, and the timing for the light is the icing on the cake here.

Great job of balancing the brightly lit tree and the dark rocks. The spotlight effect works very well on the tree and there is so much interesting texture in the rocks. The top parts of the tree do look burned out, but that a minor nit.

Great shot! Love the originality of this.

Great one, Dan. That's some strong mood here.

Great shot Dan, wonderful find! I like the tones in the rock walls.

love it dan - fine work. the colours in the rocks - all from shadows and reflecton make this for me.

certainly a very nice colour palette across the image, and the fall of light was just right!
I wonder how this would have looked if you had placed the tree off-centre with more of the RHS wall included?

Awesome image, Dan. The textures and colors in the rocks are fascinating and the brightness of the bush just pulls me in.

Perfect lighting you found here, and some interesting colors in the rock. I might consider adding some midtone contrast in the rocks - they look a little hazy to me. This should add some pop to the rocks which I'm sure was there.

I love the composition and selective light, Dan. I do think the walls are a bit too magenta, though.

Nice work, Dan. This is really great!

That canyon is killer Dan! I love the rock walls. As previously mentioned, the right side in particular is a little hazy. You can probably clear some of that up a bit. Awesome work - I really like this.

Lovely, Dan! Beautiful canyon!

Sweet shot Dan! Love the textures and the light of course is awesome.

What a fascinating place! I love the combination of colors, and the clean and elegant composition. The light is truly special as well. The sharpening looks a little crunchy (I would hope for finer details), and I think you might get a little more range in colors if you shift the colors a little warmer and greener.

The unveiling light is simply remarkalble here in the canyon Dan!

Fantastic shot Dan, the nearly centered tree does not bother me at all. I agree with the others about the right hand side wall lacking contrast, should be an easy fix though.

That is just awesome, Dan!

This is really special, Dan. Wonderful light and the framing rocks are awesome. Must've took your breath away when you came across this one.

Fantastic Dan. Its very visually pleasing.

Beautiful photo and great photography, Dan! If you can, id use your RAW to burn down the tree highlites for a bit more detail. Nice work!

Nice! I don't know where Eldorado Canyon is, but I sure thought this was going to be Zion fgerom the thumb. I can see now the difference in the rock walls here. Excellent!

What a powerful image. Love the contrast between the walls and the tree. Some very special light too.
