First off the composition had strong bones about it with the natural framing of the tree dominating the left & bottom side and the overhanging branch on the right. What you have done in this B&W version is bring up the tones, details and contrasts in the tree with it's twisting/curling branches and really made them the main focus of the shot with the Grand Canyon as a complimentary backdrop for it. In the original color version the details of the tree and it's textures are lost in shadow. Because it obscures the view of the Grand Canyon it seems an annoyance that would normally be a throw away shot. But here in your B&W version those knotted & twisting branches really pop and become the main focus for a rather unique view of the interesting landscape. Nice job.

| Oh my... the high contrast B&W really works wonderfully for this picture. The whole thing is really wonderful. Ever think about putting this image up for sale? In my not so humble opinion, it would be hot! |

Very NICE edit. The first thing I noticed was of course, the tree. But then you follow the tree branches out, and there is a whole other picture to look at in there. Very, very interesting! Glad you pulled this out and blew the dust off!
