By coincidence, at Canyon de Chelly I met Travis Terry a friend and
a great Native American Flute player...
He agreed to sit right there on the edge of the canyon, and play his
flute...while I took a photo...

Hi Steve,
Very interesting and nicely open shadows due to lots of reflective
area.
But a minor suggestion. Look at the light and shooting from the
shadow side? You are not on it! The shadow side if at all possible
would've been a slight turn to his left. It wouldn't have been much
and maybe a slight move to your left would've made it work.
It would've given a much better shadow and highlight ratio form to
the subject. Actually this is one of those photographs and lighting
situations you really need to see it both ways to appreciate the
quality difference. But I don’t have any doubt, as nice as this is,
if you’d shot from the shadow side, even though it might have
required subject to very slightly move, it would’ve lifted this
photo moment ten fold to the sky!
I wish I had Ted... I think the midday Arizona sun was cooking my
brain...Steve
Yep this works, but the slight move allowing you to shoot from the
shadow side would’ve made a huge positive difference.
