Phil: Superb image. Did you have to use a tilt/shift lens to get this much DOF? >=))>

Thanks everyone. I didn't use my 24mm TSE, but it might have been a thought. I used my new 24-105L at 24mm f16. I think it is a sweet lens even better than my 24-70L :smile:

The really special thing was the lack of wind that was there in the morning and at sunset...

Definitely one of the best shots from the gorge, Phil. Excellent in every way.

Cheers,

The near-far perspective is fantastic, Phil. The flowers in the middle ground connects the foreground and background very well. In other words, this is a beautiful shot :smile:

Philip,
I like how the flowers seem to spill down the slope. Lovely! :toast:
