A little bit about this shot:
This is a stitch of three or four separate shots. I was trying to get the details and textures of the landscape and noticed that I had rotated around an axis after the fact. Stitching them resulted in a rather nice view of everything I was trying to capture.
Taken in the north unit of the park - less visited and much better.
The color version is nice too - I just converted to grayscale because I could post a larger image. That's the only reason.
I use masking in Photoshop to set the "levels" - brightness and contrast - of parts of my shots independently. That is why the dark cliffs, foreground in shadow, foreground in highlight, and sky all seem to have a lot of definition. Normally this would be balanced across and somewhat more muted. I try to bring out the details of the human eye - which compensates for a lot of range without us knowing it.
FYI for non-donors: This is viewable in a much larger scale and detail with the panoramic view.
Because you were kind enough to click on this photo and read this far I'm attaching the color version.

Wow.
This is great.
Personally I prefer the color just because of the range of colors.
Wonderfully presented and great about!

Michael - Once again, nice shot. I would have to agree with Mr. Adams, I like the color version a better. The colors seem to help the photo "pop" more. Also, thank you for always putting in a little description on how you processed your photographs. I know that it makes me think on how I can improve my work.

No problem. I only posted B+W because I can get a larger image against the filesize limits set for posting. I wanted to show all the little flakes of dirt and textures.

No doubt in my mind that this is correctly "The Photo of The Day".
Congratulations on proper recognition. Amazing view and superb post processing including the stitching.
--Best to you, Jan

Micheal:
Excellent work . . . The blow out area lower right central is slightly distracting from what IMHO would be otherwise a world-class shot. I'm not sure why you wouldn't apply a slight burn there. Can't find anthing else to critique. Excellent material. Excellent image. Having seen the color version I FAR prefer it but understand why you posted this. Exquisite scene. The PANO version absolutely ROCKS! Love the scene color and B&W . . . first class on clarity and composition. Congrats on the award. I've been here before . . . having lived in South Dakota . . . what an amazing place, eh?
Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~

Excellent POV, Michael. It is a must to open the panoramic view, that's for sure. Very interesting landscape. Congratulations on your Photo of the Day award. Moste deserving.
Best wishes,
Dave A.
