Shot with a Canon DSLR, Tamron lens with a CPF, ISO 1600, f22. I liked it, but looking for feedback on how it could have been improved

Looks like a very nice image, but so small that it is hard to get a feel for it. If you had checked the STORE ORIGINAL box when posting, we could see it full size.

If it was my shot I'd see what kind of difference PP haze removal might make.
But I like it. The foreground is clear, which makes the haze imply distance or vastness.

As mentioned by tbell7D, post with "store original" is your first next step ...

I always hesitate to comment like this. I don’t, as we say in Texas, mean to be “ugly.”

I would like to see a little (more) sky in the background. I also would agree some haze filtering would help the photo. Here is why I make those observations: In July, part of the North Rim was burning, creating huge smoke plumes that affected the views from and of the South Rim. Looking to the top of the frame, I can’t tell if there’s another fire, a re-ignited one, or if it’s just haze from the power plants near Page, Ariz., or the Four Corners that obscure the background.

I don’t know the etiquette of posting one of my photos to this thread to show what I saw, but if that isn’t tacky I’d be happy to if I could figure out how.

Just in case you're still unsure:

- Do not hijack topics by posting your pictures inside someone else's topic in a manner that would divert the discussion away from the original poster's pictures. In such situation, it's best to start a new topic and post your pictures there. It is OK to post pictures when explicitly invited by the OP or when posting pictures inside an existing topic would genuinely benefit that particular discussion.

Thank you. I remember seeing that when I signed up, but I couldn't find it when I looked for it again. I guess that is why I asked the question.

I think it is very good, just wish the people weren't in it but it is probably one of those places where there are always people.

I think the people add a definite sense of scale. In my opinion, they make this shot. Time of day has alot to do with the haze.

What a beautiful painterly quality, worthy of Albert Bierstadt.

Personally I like the haze. My only observation is that for those of us that really like nature the photo would be better without all the people. Not an easy task, to accomplish. I disagree with the thought that you should show more sky. I think unless there is a really nice sky Grand Canyon photos are better without sky.

Exposure is good, composition is good, subject matter is good. Not much else to say. Good job.

Beautiful image, Beemer01, from what I can see. Wish you'd checked the "store original" box when you posted so we could download.
