Ok, I see what you're saying and understand. I was looking closer at the center left ridge of the two ridges traveling from about 7a to 1p. I was wondering it you got down a little lower and could shoot just above and over that sunlite ridge foward bringing in the leading lines from the left and right that converge into sort of a point at 12. Both upper ridges have light tips to capture your attention and frame the shot. You could try re-cropping your shot the better see what I'm going after. Remember, I'm just playing with an idea. Have a great rest of the week.

Thanks for sharing your thinking as you are looking for "that's it!" on this landscape. You are famous for your foreground shots! What if you brought the drone down to use the sunlite peaks as sort of a gigantic foreground that looks at individual segments of the canyon light- tipped as you have in your last exposure. Maybe, instead of one large page of info, you tell individual stories perhaps with a little tighter view, if that's possible...I've never used a drone. I assume there's no telephoto of zoom lens for the drone. I could see many possibilites using one. Just a thought as a possible change of tunnel perspective. By the way, what's the approximate alttitude of a drone shot like this or others like the bayou, etc.? Ron
