Was in the Capitol Reef area for a few days and happend to be there by coincidence for Guy Tal's gallery opening. He has got some incredible work displayed, a must see if you're in the area.
Here's a few images and as always C&C welcome and thanks for looking.
Wow, dazzling stuff, Jeff! Quite the sky color in the first, and I really like the third one.
I think, like Tom Till's Moab gallery, Galen Rowell's in Bishop and Erik's Estes Park shop, Guy's gallery is going to be a required stop for any serious photographer who comes within a half-hour drive of the place.
Todd, you are dead on about a must see for Tal's gallery. I have to make plans to try to see his work in large print hanging on a wall. Can you imagine?
Great color, Jeff! And #3 and #2 are fantastic shots! the others are just as good, but those two really connect with me.
Another fan of #'s 2, 3 & 4, but they're all excellent images (esp. composition-wise).
#2 could really use a Levels adjustment as this version is pretty flat.
I love #1, that's one of my favorite views in the Southwest. Although it might be tad magenta on the color balance it's not too far off for my tastes. #4 is also really cool.
Love #3 in color. Like #4 comp wise, but looks a tad bit flat to me? Maybe increasing some shadows a tiny bit might add some depth? Nice images overall.

Thanks for the input and comments folks.
John - I did rework #2 and give it a little boost in Levels. I wanted the colors to be kind of muted, but after 'sitting' on the image for another day I think the slight bump in Levels really helped.
Joshua - I think this is one of the top views as well. I initially was slightly concerned about the magenta, but then I look at the Navajo Sandstone domes in the center portion and I think they are just about right for the time of the evening so I left the foreground color remain. That stone is pretty red to begin with.
