It's been shot a million times. And while my shot may not compare to the poster that is for sale, it is still quite impressive in person. ;)

Here's a couple standing close to the edge, taking in all the beauty.

Looks like you were stuck with an overcast sky. This allowed you to avoid harsh shadows in the canyon. you did a nice job of leaning over the edge to get an unobstructed shot of the entire 'shoe. good work. Now go shoot it again at sunset so your sky is also of such nice quality :)

I tweaked the saturation a tad bit. What do you think?

I did a tiny bit. Too over processed?
I can remove if its not appropriate, or if you dont like it :)

HDR of single exposure might bring out some sky detail for you.

Edit: It's back.

Thanks folks. :)
