VERY nice. I have my favorite narrowed down to three choices.
My visit to the GC was many moons ago, 1978. So beautiful

I've talked to so many people who haven't visited Arizona believe the entire state is at 115 degrees all summer long.
Well, your photos show them differently don't they.
The canyon is at about 7,500 feet at the rim and does get winter, just as your photos show others around the country.
Yes it's hot here in Phoenix but in summer, want some change, drive to the canyon where it's probably in the upper 70's.
Nice set. However I do agree a little too much saturation for my taste.

Hi Jimmya,
The intention was encourage people to visit the Grand Canyon even during Winter time so if they generate positive discussion, then I am happy.
The saturation was a by-product as a result of my attempt to increase the contrast and sharpness of the photos. Will figure out a balance that will not over saturate the photos next time.
Thanks.

You might want to post it on the "Post-processing forum" here. It's amazing what some of the experts there can do with a photo. I've learned a lot watching that forum and occasionally submitting a photo for tips.
Hi GregWCIL,
Good idea. I do have few over exposed and sun flare photos that can used some help to restore.
Thanks.

Nice work. Yes when you increase contrast that also bring up the saturation so some adjustment there is normally required - but very nice shots.

Excellent composition. Beautiful shots.
If you are using PhotoShop, try using the 'Quick selection tool'. You can use it to easily isolate area's you do or do not want to modify. It can be used with the 'Magic Lasso' to easily isolate areas. I have found under the 'Select' tab at the top, the 'Inverse' and 'Similar' tabs to be VERY helpful in this reguard.
The 'Quick Selection' tool is the button between the 'Magic Lasso' and the 'Crop' button's. Excellent tool for isolating areas!!! Once isolated, you can modify color, exposure, etc.
Thanks for sharing your photos.
I took around 7,000 on a trip to Alaska last year, and am STILL editing those, lol (or is it groan?).

I mostly use the paint tool while masking. I will try the quick selection and Magic Lasso. Yes, it does take a lot of time so I only selected few shots for editing but it still takes a lot of time from transferring RAW to TIFF and then start editing.
As for for your 7000 shots of Alaska, maybe you will really need to put your foot down and choose approximately 70 to 100 for editing only. My percentage for successful shot is ranging from 1/75 to 1/100 sometimes. I have to do that sometimes because if I leave the photos for more than a few months, I will loose interest in editing them.
Thanks.

Nice set with great composition. Welcome to the forum.
Thanks. I hope other people with shots of Grand Canyon during this time will also joint this. I did run into few photographers out there last month at the Canyon...
Thanks.

Awesome, all of them. When were these shot? I was at the South Rim on Dec 30th, the day before a huge snow storm.

I shot them on March 2nd & 3rd of this year (2015).
The 1st one was on Monday 03/02. It was raining then the Sun came out for 1/2 hour with the rain bow. Then it was back to rain and then snow.
The 2nd and 3rd ones were the next day, Tuesday 03/03 when the snow was stop.
