Look at those colors! I've got a shot of Bryce in my portfolio, but it is from January. It's all covered in snow.

I think that the trees in the image frames the canyon and gives a wonderful perspective. A great picture Alun. We were close to Bryce when we visited the Grand Canyon, but not close enough and I was really disappointed with my pictures. It is not an easy landscape to photograph. Well done.

What a fantastic shot, the tree adds a depth and scale and makes the viewer comprehend the scene before them. Great work.

@Graham Russon: Thank you Graham for your comment. I didn't think the tree was that bad ether, cheers
Ted from South Wales, United Kingdom
Nice shot Alun...the tree? If you went back, could you? Would you change it? That's the view I guess and either side it does frame it...nice work!

gorgeous shot here Alun! love the colors and the magnificent blue sky! love how the viewer can see 'for ever'!! p.s. -- what is the significance with the name? :)

@dj.tigersprout: Cheers dj, The name Hoodoo is the name of the rock towers in the canyon

Great image. Fantastic colors. I think the tree helps to understand how big this is!
