I took the image and cropped it to enhance the image horizontally, which I feel makes you the focus of the image, not the canyon behind you.

I did the crop in Photoshop CS6, created a new layer and processed it in Topaz Clarity using the Color Boost preset to give everybody enhanced color. Back in PS, I adjusted Opacity of the new layer to produce a pleasing blend.

You did a lot of work. Thanks.

Gave it a quick shot---took out that large shadow on the left, would take out the one near his leg also. Adjusted contrast, colors and cropped as best I could to get as much of that large rock coming in on the left with it flowing into the rest of the canyon. I wasn't real worried about the feet because I didn't want to cut you in half I just left them alone. Let's see what it looks like on the Hog. Sorry I forgot to hit download on that 1st one..........

I am going to have this photo enlarged from our trip to the Grand Canyon. What recommendation would you make about cropping? By previous critics, I realize I probably should crop out the feet from the picture since one of my feet is missing and maybe some of the sky but would you like your suggestions. It's okay to adjust picture and repost.

Here's one more take on the crop....

This is the crop I'd go with. It really shows where you were, not just standing in front of a pretty rock. Nice crop hb3. Only problem being finding a frame to show it off.

You nailed it coco1964...you got the rule of thirds in,eliminated repetative scenery on right,brought the people in to recognizable distance,eliminated a lot of unnecessary sky,could have cropped the feet right out..very good job!

Custom framing would be the choice I would make with matting and non-glare glass.

I don't see any reason to limit your self to keeping just printing for hanging.
Perhaps a close up would make a nice table 8x10 for your desk at work .
Here is an example. 8-)
