this is one of those photos that makes you promise yourself that you will visit there one day. Thank you. Great shot; I've never seen a photo of the grand canyon with so much green foliage.

Another cool landscape. Do you like the low contrast the haze makes? Sometimes I increase the contrast a bit to bring out the colors. But who am I to give you advice? :)

@Ken McCoy: Thank you very much Ken! I love stark contrasts + bright colours, but with landscapes I somehow prefer this subtle hazy, partially arcane mood/spirit of things captured.

I think we can always learn from each other, advice is always welcome!
If nobody tells me what could be improved or shows me a different angle of viewing (thinking?!) at things I will never advance....
