"The Grand Canyon is not as easy to photograph (at least well) as people think ... the vastness, differences in lighting, and picking the right perspective is always a challenge." - Paul's Photos
How true you stated that on mine which I did indeed greatly appreciate, but you have proven it's worth in truthfulness 'Ten - Fold' with this your own image with great vertical impact and clarity destined to be rendered in B&W!
Thanks once again Paul for the mutual interest - Best of Regards!

Splended photo, Paul. My sunny sixteen rule obviously doesn't work in the Grand Canyon! Your exposure and conversion to B&W are absolutely spot on. Almost, from the thumbnail, like one of those time-exposure cliches of waves dashing against the rocky shore and getting all fuzzy and smeared, but a 100 or 1000 times more impact for being REAL CLOUDS. Are temperature inversions like this fairly common, or very unusual? They are fairly common where I come from in the UK (Bristol in the SW), usually in Autumn, where we knew them as fogs. Of course that's experiencing them from underneath, not from above. I think I prefer above.

The position and the capture view gave this shot a powerful look, where you managed to record a wonderful phenomena of an inversion atmosphere, the elements combine a wonderful contrast and your of B&W version of excellent choice, a very selective work. Saeed

The BW really sets it off, because of the nebulousness of the clouds, I think of what is hidden (left to the imagination), in this view from a castle in the sky, of sorts. Thanks for sharing, and your kind comment on my pan. YOur folio kicks ass. cheers, t
