The Grand Canyon has left many photographic images that are to be admired. I researched. F8. ISO100 and 1/90speed. It worked well without the tripod as there was a steel handrail to position your camera on.
Three good things:
1. Not good really - a few intrepid visitors wanted to get down on to lower stones for a good photograph…. Good for me - got ‘em!
2. I read that there were 12 fatalities each year from selfies and people not watching where they walk!! The good thing was that I DID!
3. Watching a Starski and Hutch film on TV when I was too tired to go out after 4.1km walking!
a rather excellent shot, maggiemae! love those colours!

The scenery is stunning. There's always somebody doing something silly and potentially dangerous!

Fav, fav, fav. As they would say in the US - awesome!

Great colour contrasts..
July 25th, 2017  
What a great image.
July 25th, 2017  
Gorgeous colors! Rad is old news. Now it is "on fleek, fizzing, bad, savage, jelly, etc" but I just say COOL! :)
July 25th, 2017  
very cool indeed - well done!
July 25th, 2017  
Stunning !
July 25th, 2017  
Wow... I'm nervous just looking at that guy!
July 25th, 2017  
Such great framing using those branches and such good sense of scale...and such good common sense on your part to not go down further!
July 25th, 2017  
WOW that is an impressive shot showing great scale and colours
July 25th, 2017  
Fantastic capture! Great composition and framing.
July 25th, 2017  
Excellent capture with great colors, composition
July 26th, 2017  
Fantastic choice if composition, fabulous color, interesting subject. Clever of you to capitalize on their bravery. Or stupidity.

It's been more than 30 years since I've heard about Starsky and Hutch. Used to love that show. Did you like it?
July 26th, 2017  
Great timing and processing!
July 26th, 2017  
@grammyn I loved it Katy! Especially the music that was in it. Even John watched it!
July 26th, 2017  
Breathtaking !!
July 26th, 2017  
love it - fav
July 26th, 2017  
Wonderful scene. What beautiful colors. Only the young can sit on the edge of those rocks without breaking out in a cold sweat. ;)
July 26th, 2017  
@rosiekerr I broke out into cold sweats too, Rosie - something to do with the altitude which I was not used to!
July 26th, 2017  
Love that purple color on the rocks. Crazy kids.
July 26th, 2017  
wonderful shot with the branches in the foreground - I like that! then I realize how he's on the edge and wow. beautifully done!
July 26th, 2017  
Gorgeous capture of one of our favorite places, but.....Where on earth are this kid's parents? Pretty stupid going out on that point! (We were in the Grand Canyon one time when a kid about 12 had fallen to his death that morning doing just about what this one is doing) It was awful..
July 26th, 2017  
Stunning capture. Magnificent surrounds & color. gave me the horrors to see this young man where he is !!! Like your 3 things...Big Fav.
July 26th, 2017  
great shot showing all the detail. I have often seen people venturing beyond fences to get shots and wonder at their stupidity.
July 26th, 2017  
You will never see me on that ledge, for sure. The guy must be a bit crazy or very brave to sit there, Your shot is fabulous and I love the colour of the rocks. Fav.
July 26th, 2017  
Amazing colour
July 26th, 2017  
Wonderful Scene and love the tones FAV!!
July 26th, 2017  
Bev
Whoa! Cool shot. Fav
July 26th, 2017  
Awesome shot
July 26th, 2017  
@aglennc How awful for you - horrifying to watch! Most o the people that climb down to do this are Asian and the whole family is there!
July 26th, 2017  
This is sickening!!!
July 26th, 2017  
Oh my, one sure needs to be careful where one steps here. What a amazing color
July 26th, 2017  
I believe that. Any national park these days -- so may Asians, all with multiple cameras and camera gear.
July 26th, 2017  
The subtitle here might read "stupidity". No one ever thinks it will happen to them. But a good shot for you.
July 28th, 2017  
What a catch!
