Very nice in download.
Thanks. I was a little surprised on how poorly the original looked without the download.

I agree, the download is terrific. Almost a shame, though, to have caught the shrubs on the edge of the rim. The view from above certainly does capture the magnitude of the canyon.
I did a version without the shrubs but it eliminated too much of the foreground. I wanted to keep the river in the right position.

I went from oh to wow with one mouse click. Download is fine, DDL is better.
I don't know what DDL is? Can you explain?

Gorgeous shot! I hope that you have a good Memorial Day.
Thanks for viewing. I had a quiet Memorial Day but I did share the evening with a friend. First time in 3 months I spent any time at someone else's place. Social distanced through.

Very nice. You are correct about the download.
I've had a lot of posts but never saw this much of a difference. Glad I did the review.

Double download is fantastic. But it doesn't look air born to me. Aircraft are not permitted to go below the rim. There are numerous viewpoints on the south rim where this could have been taken.
When we went over the rim we couldn't have been more than 50' of altitude. We flew at that altitude for the mile or two it took to get to the rim. The shadow on the ground looked like it came from the help but I couldn't be sure. Either way I liked the shot and I was surprised I missed it on my two previous looks.

In reviewing my photo library, I found an image taken from the south rim of the Grand Canyon that I had not processed before. Late afternoon light and I am not sure but it may have been taken from my helicopter tour. I cloned out what I thought was the shadow of the copter in the lower right corner.
Definitely has to be viewed in "Download" as I don't even recognize the picture without it.

I've taken pictures from this exact spot numerous times as I only live a two hour drive from the Canyon. late afternoon light is the best time to shoot the Canyon. Beautiful image.

Thanks for commenting. I lived in CA for 50 years before finally visiting the Canyon. Idiot! I have been collecting info for visiting the north rim as well as Monument Valley and some of the Utah parks. May have to wait another year but I am determined to make it happen.
