Wow, what a day this was and such a fantastic finish to the day...we arrived at the Grand Canyon in time to see sunset. I was looking off into the horizon and got some of these wonderful shadow plays in the ridges. My husband said I'd never get the picture as I was shooting directly into the sun. But...I got it....yea!!!

When I look at this I see many, many faces in the profiles of the ridges. I have seen others that have gotten similar pictures and instantly love them...

I hope that you have enjoyed this picture as much as I have...

I am in love with these types of images. And this is one of the best one of "these types" that i've seen. Excellent work.

Love the many shades of blue and the flat while layered effect. Would make a good poster.

Comment from an amateur, non-voting, non-member. Take it for what it's worth...

I really like this. I know I'm supposed to offer comment that isn't empty, but this is a photo I wish I could say I'd created. Kudos

Beautiful shot. It has such a painterly look.

Very nice. However...the edges are oversharpened to distracting degree. The gray "bump" on the left is odd...lens flare? Very pretty.

almost graphic in its design - i really like this - i just wonder about the third to last horizon from the top on the left - it almost seems like a smudge

I like the layers you've captured. Like the tones of your processing.
