Would croping help in the rule of thirds? It's better to regret things you have done than to regret things you haven't done

Titus213 Cream of the Crop  More info | Aug 28, 2007 00:41 | #6 It's a nice enough image, great colors, crop works better but it doesn't say 'Grand Canyon'. More like large, flat land. Oh, with a bump on the right. Dave

Try this; start over, crop sky rather than ground, horizon 1/3 from top, then apply a very small amt of fill light in ACR. That should bring out enough of the canyons to make it interesting. The things you do for yourself die with you, the things you do for others live forever.

Titus213 Cream of the Crop More info | Aug 28, 2007 11:13 | #9 I just brought this into CS3 and there are some incredible canyons and peaks on that dark area. Needed major boosts in Shadows/highlights so perhaps with the original RAW file it would come up nicely. Dave

I do agree that it does not scream grand canyon. My Flickr
