Grand Canyon Yellowstone

It's always interesting for me to find these hardy trees which are able to thrive in such precarious footing. I was attracted to the assortment of colors in the landslide. The original included the rim which I cropped out.

This is really neat, Bill.  I like the color in the rock as well as how you have conveyed scale in the composition.  This is very nice!

Bill: One of my favorite places on the planet. Terrific extract from the canyon. Wonderful color palette and the details in the larger version are wonderful. Most excellent.>=))>

Bill, This is super cool looking. It is really an interesting view and all the colors and textures look great. I too like the scale the trees add to the scene. Very nice work!

I really like the funnel and the colors in this comp. The fg ledge has a different texture than the rest but it's arc like shape works well with the comp.

The colors and textures in this canyon are always fascinating, Bill.  You've done a great job of isolating an area with lovely pastel colors and a fine flowing shape.  This is a beauty.

Bill, you have a real nice image with the comp of diagonals and arcs, and colors that appear to wash down the slopes like wet watercolors.  This reminds me a little of Red mountain in southwest Colorado.

I love the colors and textures Bill.  Your chosen composition works well to show the depth and scale of the place.

Stunning image - subtle colours, perfect perspective, and a "story" - 
Congrats on a very fine WP!
