Your first and last images are breathtaking, but on enlargement there's considerable haze in the background against the distant mountains. I am assuming you have Lightroom or something equivalent? Create an elliptical filter that matches the width and approx height of the mountains then apply a DeHaze filter. Or, start a graduated filter at the tops of the clouds to below the distant mtns and do DeHaze. It looks like you did something similar to get the deep blue of the sky.
Great work!
Great work!

Real nice. Loved the foreground you put in the picture gave them alot of depth.

excellent. I'm glad you flipped your camera for some portrait styled shots. I think that they came out better than the landscape style.

Good morning. I have visited and photographed in Canyonlands NP several times. Some of your photographs show familiar scenes. I like the perspective and composition of photograph No. 1. The others have merit, too.
But I must say that first one like all the others in your post contains a sky color too saturated, and they all appear underexposed. I offer this critique for the reason that part of the attraction of CNP arises from the purity of the sky color because of no air pollution to distort its hue. The sky there looks distinctly brighter with a lighter blue close to baby blue. The naturalness of the sky color pleases the eye more.
I believe presenting the sky color nearer its true color in your photographs would enhance their overall visual appeal, and especially so as contrasting with the reds and magentas found everywhere in CNP.
Please take my comment in the spirit of suggesting verisimilitude for photographs of the natural beauty in CNP.

I agree that the skies are somewhat over saturated, but are beautiful nonetheless.

I too like your foregrounds. The trees might look better if lightened to bring out more detail.
