Grand Canyon

I never get tired of photographing the Grand Canyon. I do get tired on the long drive back and forth to the canyon but thats another story.

And I never get tired of seeing great photos from the GC, like yours:)

Nice atmosphere in this.

Great use of sfumato.

I'll take that as a compliment. I think?

sfumato: the technique of allowing tones and colors to shade gradually into one another, producing softened outlines or hazy forms

And, yes, it is very sfumato-esque .... and a darn wonderful photo

[Slobodan Blagojevic]

To add to the definition: "The word 'sfumato' comes from the Italian language and is derived from "fumo" (smoke, fume)." (Wikipedia). One of the great techniques of the Renaissance. Look, for instance, behind Mona Lisa's head for its application in landscape.

Your image bears resemblance to Renaissance landscapes. Good enough for a compliment?

And I thought "sfumato" was the thing they use to make red pasta sauce, until I checked Wikipedia.

It is a beautiful, atmospheric shot.

Definitely not. But there is the "sformato"... , https://www.google.it/search?q=sformato&biw=1232&bih=605&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiSj7LthpTMAhXM1RQKHTV-AoUQsAQIKw

Thanks. I'll order one of each.

Wonderful light and the moisture in this dry place makes it quite sensational.
