A thoughtful glimpse into the amazing tenacity of living things who by chance occupy an inhospitable space and still thrive. ---Grand Canyon-South Rim

Rod, that's a nice B&W conversion. The left side seems a bit dark to me -- very hard to make out any detail in the foreground and background trees (the left 1/3 or so of the foreground one) . The sky is also quite a bit darker on the left, which some people object to, but it looks like the sun was on the right, so the sky would be lighter there anyway.

And thanks for posting here instead of on FB (or maybe in addition to?). Keep this forum limping along.

Nice shot.

I saw that this was the first post in 11 days I was shocked. Did everyone really leave for FB??

Rod, the white cloud stretching across the top is pretty nice in B&W. One consideration may be to crop about half of the foreground so the canyon seems more dominant in the image, as right now the canyon and foreground are the same height in the image.
