let me know if you think it's still to flat or if I need to punch up the contrast

[Desmond Chan]

Wow, this is like a scene from a fairy tale...fantasy movie !!

I'm viewing it on a non-calibrated mon so can't comment on contrast, etc.

Michael, Maybe a hair more contrast in the mid-tones. I need to get to that Watchtower on the East Rim someday!! I like the composition w/ the clouds

[Dave Mills]

Hi Michael, Nice conversion and interesting scene. For my taste I would crop out most of the bush on the left.The clouds are very strong but I'm wondering if the verticle cloud is smoke?

[Julie Kenward]

I'm not sure I'd crop the bush on the left but I would try to bring up a little more detail in the black center area of the bush. I'm fine with the contrast - I think it's another stunning image. You've got me homesick for the canyon now...
