The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.
Description
This was from a recent evening hike from Monument Creek to Pima Point at the Grand Canyon NP. Shortly after I took this, we came across a couple of cow elk, one of which I posted earlier.
Specific Feedback
As you can see I cropped quite a bit off the top and bottom to make a pano out of this. I think it has a classic Grand Canyon look with the old dead trees, the sagebrush and rocks in the shaded foreground. I hope it is not to bright in the sunlit areas of the canyon.
Technical Details
Canon 5DMiii, f22, 1/125 sec, iso 640, 24-105 lens at 58 mm. 3 shot bracketed for exposure. Tripod

Ed I love the foreground of this image all the great iconic elements of Grand Canyon. To me my eye always goes to the lightest part of the frame.
So the BG fights the FG, where all the interest is.
I downloaded and tried to balance the light and you did a much better job than I did.
The Grand Canyon is always in shadow or bright light I always struggle there.
Beautiful view.
Thank you very much for taking a look and for giving me your thoughts on this @Steve_Rosendahl. I kind of figured the FG/BG contrast was too much. It just helps to hear what someone else sees too. Much appreciated. Ed
Hi Ed, I really love what you are doing with this image. The foreground certainly grabs a ton of interest, but I think the relationship of it with the background for me is what makes it. The background with that fantastic interplay of shadow and the tones of canyon sandstone provide a marvelous counterpoint. If I were to suggest anything, it would be to slightly darken the shadow in the center of the background further emphasizing the play of shadows and light…
