Thanks for looking!

Nice composition, Alex. The shutter speed is perfect for the water. The reds on the wall in the background look a little hot, but I'm also not on a calibrated monitor so take it for what it's worth. Nice image.

A wonderful image Alex. I like this comp and the light and colors look great to me. The water motion adds some excellent drama as well. Very nicely done!

Very nice Alex, really like the comp with the water rushing strait at me, along with the light in the BG, highlights look great to me. Beautifully done.

Another great shot from the narrows. I wonder if it's even possible to take a bad shot in such a scenic landscape.

Color looks great on my monitor. The limited view makes me ache for a wider scene.

A excellent Zion scenic, Alex! Well composed with good shutter speed for the water,
and you captured good light.

Beautiful image and an excellent job on the water. Composition feels a little tight on top. I'd like to more room there and more of the warm rock walls to balance the cool, blues.

Excellent. I like the overall simplicity here and the way the light comes together so well.

The low perspective works nicely here with the water motion. I wouldn't mind a little more room on top, but I like how the light pulls me into the scene. Beautiful image.

I really like that warm light on the canyon walls combined with the autumn foliage in the trees. This contrasts nicely with the cooler tones in the water and the opposite wall.

Nicely done Alex. A pretty composition, but the red walls look a little bit oversaturated on my work monitor. There again, I've never seen this in person, so it might be right on.

Wonderful capture of the Narrows, Alex. I really like the seemingly lower perspective with the rushing water too. Nice work with the overall dynamic range here also.
