Grand Canyon Sunrise, December 26, 2012

I took plenty of compressed perspective photos, focusing on nothing but rocks overlapping rocks overlapping more rocks. The shadows throughout the day have plenty of variety in tone and color, but I pushed a few of my photos in post to play with even more varied color renderings. Here, I've emphasized the blue aerial perspective, and shifted the foreground reds toward magenta. It might be over the top, but it's worth exploring these hue adjustments to see what you like. I won't call this a great photo, but it's useful to see one possibility.
