Another fuji velvia scan. from summer of 2004. Canon eos elan 7e. sigma 180 f/3.5 macro. warming filter.
I have played with a pano crop but I prefer this as it gives an idea of the depth of the canyon. And I feel the darkness inside the canyon adds to the mystique.
Let me know what you think. Thx in advance.

Hi Kaustubh,
I like the shapes and colors but I do feel the FG is a bit dark. I opened it up using levels and took down the brightness a bit off the top.
Let me know what you think.

Roman, thx for taking the time. Yours looks good too. a little different but fine. I personally prefer more contrast....but I can see why yours will be preferred by many. thx again.

Hi Kaustubh, There are subtle differences between yours and Roman's repost. I'm leaning towards the repost due to seeing a bit more detail which to my eye adds more interest. I feel you accomplished a sense of depth and the pleasing light adds to the overall...

Sorry boys, I have to agree with the original version. It's the high contrast that keeps my eye in the frame. The two people add depth and scale. A beautiful image.

Very nice comp Kaustubh, I took a few like this in Moab and wondering how to process them and my are even more contrasting. Back to the drawing board
