As the Fog Rolled In ...

[Rachel Hollander]

The Grand Canyon has to be one of the most photographed landmarks in the World. As a result it's difficult to find something different and usually when you do there are other photographers around:eek3:. One of the days I spent on the North Rim was pretty stormy with heavy rains and hail at times but also occasional patches of sunshine. This was taken from one of the viewpoints on the Cape Royal Road as the clouds and fog rolled in and shrouded the view. For a brief period only this point was visible.

I love how the misty clouds frame the scene! Well done!

[Tobie Schalkwyk]

Beautiful moment well captured, when only displayed to you Rachel! Well done on a unique shot!

[Valerio Tarone]

Diane, beatiful scene well captured. I hope to hear soon.

[Rachel Hollander]

Thanks Diane, Tobie and Valerio. Valerio - this one is mine, not Diane's. Not sure what you hope to hear soon.

Thanks again,
Rachel

[Valerio Tarone]

Sorry, I confused the names.

[Morkel Erasmus]

This is something different - I quite like it!

[Don Railton]

This is quite something Rachel... I like how the clouds focus the eye on the scene and then the scene fade as your eye wanders. It's much nicer than the abrupt end/edge that most photos have.. My only wish would be a fully clear focal point which may never have happened on the day so...

Thanks Morkel and Don, much appreciated.

A very unique photo in that you rarely see fog with blue sky and bright colors, at least I haven't. Nicely seen and photographed.

[Rachel Hollander]

Thanks Judy:wave:

[Don Lacy]

Very nice and unique I really like the framing of the rock formations by the fog

[Andrew McLachlan]

Beautiful Rachel!!! I bet this would look great as a B&W too...then you would have two beautiful versions :)

[Stu Bowie]

Hi Rachel, there are times when you have to seize the moment, and you certainly did that here. Love how the point is framed by the mist, and Im sure a few seconds later, it was either covered, or it opened up, thus no framing by the mist. Well seen and captured.

You did a nice job with this and a nice eye to find it.
I would maybe add a bit more contrast.....
