We are camped at the GC and took this photo, finally a clear day, that is about 10 miles across, amazing place.

Indeed beautiful, but what happened to the colors? Also, you have a dust speck in the upper-right corner.

Adam, I cleaned up the image a bit, cropped and added a pinch of color, any better? Bob

Nice capture here. I would still increase the vibrance/saturation a bit. Maybe post a few of the progressions to see if one stands out.

What beautiful place!

I think the colors are much too blue throughout the frame. A little white balance or color temp adjustment perhaps?

WAY too blue. Looks like you got MUCH clearer weather then when I went there.

I'd love to go back there.

I found photographing the GC to be incredibly frustrating. For every incredible image, there is the inability to truly record the grandeur....

Oohh yeah....how true is that.!!

And it always changeing, sometimes hazy, sometimes blue grading through to purple, and as the sun moves across, clouds, wind, it just keeps changeing. A truly mesmerising place.

Amazing place. and Bob has captured it very well. Great shot, Bob. Congratulations (just one observation....straighten the horizon before you print it).
Cheers

This brings back memories from last July... was this near Bright Angel? I took some fine pics there too!

The colours are weird, though...

Nice shot but the cyan color sort of throws it off.
