The Grand Canyon and the Colorado River in the Morning right after Sunrise

I increased the saturation in the image but nothing else.

Dan Costello Increasing the saturation has helped the image. But I feel something must be done to separate the river from rest of the scene.
Alastair Cochrane It's good to see a view of the Grand Canyon quite different from the usual landscape images. I think the saturation works well and accentuates the forms of the Canyon.
Mark Southard Very dramatic landscape scene ! I might have played with hue/ saturation to highlight the green edges along the river.

Gary Davi Images never do a parorama like this any justice -- it is very hard to capture its grandour. But it is very nice how it is framed.
Sukumar This conveys well the majesty and grandeur of the scene -- and the quiet beauty of just being there.


Member Bio

Allan Fleischer

Allan has had over thirty years experience in starting new and managing technology companies in various areas including biotechnology and medical devices. In those companies he was involved with R&D, marketing and sales and senior administration. His last company was a digital imaging company and when he retired he transferred some of the technology in that company to his 40 year old hobby of photography.

Allan used film in a SLR camera to take both black and white and color photographs of his many trips around the world during his time in the US Navy and on many of his business trips. He developed and printed his Black and White pictures in his own darkroom after going to night school to learn darkroom techniques. His first task after retirement was to digitize his large collection of B/W negatives and color slides and now does all of his photography using a NIKON D2X SLR camera equipped with wide angle and telephoto lenses. He processes his images using Photoshop CS3 and prints on an Epson 4800 printer using Qimage software to drive the printer. He also mats and frames his own prints.

Allan is also a member of the Berkeley Camera Club, N4C and PSA. During the last year he has won several first prizes in the Pictorial, Creative and Travel categories at the Berkeley Camera Club.
