Finally got out for some photos this weekend, hit Dinosaur on Sunday and made my semi annual trek to Rifle Gap today. Wildflowers were already blooming at 7,500 ft and the flies were biting as well--felt more like June than April. Here's the view from Harper's Corner
Nice views and creative compositions on almost all of these images.
I especially like #'s 2 & 3. Perhaps burning down the sunlit ridgeline a bit would be an asset.
#1 (my fav) and 3 the best. Nice shots from a different location.

Stan, I like 1 and 3 from this series. With 1, I find the bright reflections in the LLC a pull and would be inclined to crop that section out right at the top of the brightest part. Maybe increase contrast in the walls if possible. I find up/down-river shots in a canyon interesting, so am drawn to 1. The sunstar and river reflection in 3 is what makes the comp work for me.

Nice series Stan.....I have to say #2 is my fav with the curve in the slope working from top to bottom, I find it very appealing. I also think #3 is pretty cool and unique. It's always nice to see a different comp perspective and I think that one certainly paid off!
#1 is a classic b&w image, and I like the shining water and curves in the river. Great use of the curve in #2 as well, and the light. #3 is the best of the bunch with it's uniqueness and creative use of framing. Excellent work, Stan.
