I like your composition in this one, Jim.  The perspective of the ridge lines in the near hillside provide a great sense of depth/distance and point you right at the sunlit cliffs in the distance.  A very effective landscape and a good choice for the challenge.

Jim, I feel like I'm staring up at a very steep wall here, with all of those lovely lines in the foreground ridge.  This is a very different look at Zion and I think it looks great.  Might be worth trying a touch of dodging on the lightest area to see if it gives a hair more color and texture.

I love the foreground and the lines in this one, Jim.
