Weekend in Zion
I finally got the chance to see Zion in the fall. What a glorious experience. I couldn't take it all in on one weekend. I had two days of shooting last weekend and mostly spent my time in the main canyon locations. Definitely a place I need to get back to.

#8, the last one on the way out of the canyon.

Pretty nice series.
#6 is my favorite. Exceptional light!

Nice stuff! The second one is by far my favorite. The first could use a little contrast boost, and the last three look like you went for a white balance that gives these an unnecessary yellowish-orange cast. (Note how the clouds in the last one look yellowish, and not in a good way.) I'd try cooling them down a touch, let those gorgeous yellow leaves stand out against the backdrop.

Looks like there was some nice color down there! 2 and 5 are my faves, with 2 winning the championship.

Beautiful work! I like #2 and #6 best. In #7 I think I prefer it with the sky cropped.

Nice work on all of them, and I like #2 as the best, also.

All are very nice, with #2, 5 and 6 are favorites. They all seem to have various magenta or orange color casts on my monitor.

Nice! I'm a big fan of #6 too although the comp in #2 is really solid so it's a close 2nd.

Nice series, Zion is an amazing place that I can't wait to get back to (haven't been since 2007).
