Craig, excellent images, I especially favor The Goblin’s Back and Colorado Riverbend. Love your images…and titles!

Jameel, great images you’ve shared—especially like Death Valley composition and the colorful Black Canyon of the Gunnison! Very nice indeed.

Canyons are a little thin on the ground on this side of the pond but the Gorges du Verdon probably fits the bill. A 15 miles long limestone gorge up to 2,300ft deep with a tourquise river flowing through it. I photographed it in very difficult light.
Earlier I had taken a photograph of my wife with the gorge in the background, better light and a better viewpoint. Why I didn't take a pano from here showing the entire gorge remains a mystery.
Lastly Waing Widow falls taken after a precarious scramble up the sides of the gorge

Not all canyons are out in open desert countryside

Michael, I really like your image—nice composition with the foreground river leading the eye through the gorge. Nice!

Ken, I really like first two images—gorge-ous! It’s hard to choose a favorite between them. Your waterfall image is also very well done—a beautiful capture.

Alan, I really love the Snake River landscape––a beautiful scene and my favorite. The Bryce Canyon and the Upper Antelope Canyon images are also among my favorites you’ve shared—excellent examples for this task.Not all canyons are out in open desert countryside

Beautiful images Ben, love them all and if I had to choose a favorite it might be Dead Horse Point by a very small margin!
My apologies Jim. Do share your versions.Hey Jameel! These are great, but you stole my thunder.

Kyle, exceptional images––and I can't choose a favorite! The colors of Yavapai Point are beautiful and the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone is striking in its composition––the snow is a nice bonus too. Love them all!

Dan, my favorite image would be between your first two captures, perhaps Waimea Canyon with its shadowed foreground and beautiful colors beyond might be my choice. I like the colors in the Antelope Canyon image from cool foreground to warm background––nice!

Some great images with depth & mood. I suspect you didn't take the pano cause your wife was the object of your attention.
