Just finished a workshop sponsored by Tamron at the Great Sand Dunes in Colorado. Wasn't too bad, but not great either. They were to have lenses available for loan, but the lens my friend wanted to try (15-30mm) they didn't have for a Canon mount. Seemed a little strange considering this was a landscape shoot and the 15-30 is a landscape lens.
We did some light painting (one of the instructors did the painting), and my results were less than stellar. Not quite enough painting in the right places to get the look I was after. Had a couple of sunrise/sunset shots that were almost acceptable. The haze from the big Durango fire did not help.
Don’t know why you’re being so critical of your images - they look pretty good to me. Here in the South we deal with atmospheric haze most of the time, even in winter. Your shots are quit acceptable in my view.

That rock in the 3rd picture from the top looks a bit like a comodo dragon... :)
Well.., you gave it your all during less than perfect conditions ..and the experience was a learning curve for sure ..I think under the circumstances ..your shots are fine ..., sharing the experience with us .. better than fine ...and yes the one shot ..a Komodo Dragon for sure ..
Possible a Komodo dragon or ..... a fossilized monster from the movie Tremors! Despite the haze, I like the last one. It's quite ethereal.
I think you captured two great ones with your first and third. They are better than you are giving credit.
Nice set! You expect too much under these conditions.
