 So here is the stupid thing about this photo, I uploaded this image thinking the challenge started on Tuesday night, not Sunday night. I only did a small amount of work on it, I only wanted to see what it looked like on the web at that point. I hadn't cropped or even straightened the horizon yet, I still had to look up the name of Brent's entry and change the name, then the damn challenge started. I can't believe it scored as high as it did.

Sorry Brent, I didn't enter a photo to do yours justice

I think you are trying to emulate Brent_Ward's ribbon winner (was a bit of a challenge to find:-) ). The canyon and rocks are indeed very beautiful and you captured some nice light rays but the richness in tones and colors are lost because your contrast is very flat. The colors and tones are very dull and I know that it must not have been like that while standing there. Those colors and contrasts really need to pop for the viewer to say "wow". It is an above average shot in the composition of elements it just needs that little extra boost in the contrasts and perhaps saturation. Adjusting the the Highlight/Midtones/Shadows and/or Contrast levels can really make the contrast between the light and dark areas pop more. A little bit more of a saturation adjustment might also benefit the photo to add a touch more vibrancy of color. None-the-less wonderful capture.

Great shot, but I can't figure out what it's Deja Vu of. None of the tiele search items come up with it. Maybe thecanyon4me? I won't DNMC you, but I can't rate based on the challenge.

I would prefer a bit more contrast, which is touch when shooting into the light. ;) 6

Needs more contrast. I might have the wrong image...but it would have been easier to locate had you used the same title. the canyon4me

I need to travel more often. Sure, where Im from there are trees all over, but I dont get to see stuff like this at all. Nicely done.
