Not quite sure what's going on with the trees but there's some weird pixelation or something that's a bit disconcerting. You probably could have gotten a lot more of this in focus if you stopped down to f/8 or more. I'm guessing you were trying for a slow shutter speed to smooth out the water but as the water is not the main attraction, (or at least the only one) I think more dof and overall detail would have served you better. I really like the extreme vertical comp and the layers of color, though. Nicely seen.

Lots of intriguing layers Jeff. It does seem a bit soft (maybe what Nancy's referring to?), and per my monitor could be a tad brighter.

This is a nice view of all the canyon. I feel that the crop and the elements in the image are competing for the overall flow. The crop is all about verticals and the layers about horizontals. Its a nice scene but over all feels unbalanced to me.

I like the layers and colors in this Jeff. A nice scene from Zion. Like the others I would like to have seen more depth of field for sharpness. A slower shutter speed would have improved the look of the water also. But a very nice scene none the less. Nice job.

Love the layering here

My nit is the extreme JPEG artifacting in the image. Seems way too compressed. Chose a higher level of quality in Photoshops Save for Web" and it would look better.
