We stopped in Cedar City on a road trip to California about 3 weeks ago. It was too hot (110 degrees) during the day to do much. I got up early the next morning and drove up to Cedar Breaks and grabbed a few shots just after sunrise, while the weather was still cool. I like this shot.

The sun tipping the angled ridges looks good. I see a blue cast like the WB could be warmed, and maybe a need for a little more contrast for the canyon walls.

Thanks for the comments Doug: The shot looks a lot better in larger sizes. I will play with the yellow a little to warm the shadows. Also the foreground tree shows up better in the larger version. Link attached below:

The large version is very nice!
