Sedona preference: back to the vault

I keep mining my shots from an excellent visit to Sedona, two springs ago. This edit was from the wide-view perspective in the second shot that I decided might look good as well. I like the full 50mm view, but wonder if the out of focus blossoms at the bottom distract too much. I include both captures and solicit opinions. Thanks for looking!

I like the second. Even downloaded and expanded, I don’t think the “reverse bokeh” distracts too much.
Nice shot!

Since you are looking for opinions I will give you mine. In both images, although the histogram looks fine the middle tonalities are overexposed. If you like those images like they are that is fine and do nothing.
If you want to make a difference go to Curves, grab the diagonal line at the middle and just drag it down a bit. Makes a big difference and you will understand what I am saying about the middle tonalities.

In shot #1 my eye is directed to the subject, red rock sculpture, and is nicely framed with green foliage and cloud formations. Shot #2 leaves me to wondering exactly what is the subject. All elements, green foliage, red rocks, grey rocks and sky all seem to take equal proportion. I did scroll the photo up to lose half the sky and I did like the resulting panorama style shot. Just my 2 cents worth.
