The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone is the most breathtaking sight inside Yellowstone Park. I did not expect this when I looked down over the edge. Almost impossible to capture the beauty of it in a 1 dimensional image. Twenty miles long, the canyon is up to 4,000-feet wide and 1,200-feet deep in places. From several vantage points, you can view Lower Falls plunging steeply into the canyon 308 feet.

I think you did a fantastic job of capturing the beauty of this valley. I am guessing this is pretty close to SOOC! Really like this would make a fantastic print or in a magazine.
I was suppose to be in Yellowstone sometime this month and surely would've had the privilege of seeing this grand sight, but alas, plans had to be changed. Your picture makes me doubly sad about that. But it's also inspiration in resolving to make the trip happen next year.
@stevepam - thanks Steve + Pam- I use HDR once in a while - I found it's too easy to over do it if you are not careful - better to capture it right the first time in RAW file and work the file in Photoshop - hope this helps :)
