My wife instructed me to use the "enforced down time" to locate photos for her to use in a wall display. I have been going through various trips. I would appreciate your advice as to which shots would work best on the wall.

The attached set is from a 2018 tour in which we arrived at Capitol Reel National Park as the sun was setting and storm clouds were coming in.

Do you really have to ask, Mike?

<pro tip: pick the one with Terry in it>

They’re all really good. I’d have to see the room and the wall it’s going on to make a choice but I’m leaning toward the last one.
Great Work!

That's a tall order Mike ... I really enjoyed Capital Reef & your shots take me back there. The answers I'm sure are going to be all over the map ... but I enjoyed #5, the panoramic, immensely. Really liked the light in #6. #8 & #9 would round out my choices. I liked #1 but would have liked more foreground. #2, #3 & #4 are nice, but I personally prefer the others. And of course, you should include your bride. That would just be plain smart!!!! ;) Nice job.

Thanks, Frank, sorry that there were no animals (no wife jokes here).

(If pushed, poked or prodded, --and if you're crazy enuf not to choose the one with the little lady in it-- I'd go with #3.)

Very nice. I really like number 3 and the one with your wife. It puts perspective on the place.

Tell your wife thanks for me, Mike. I can't help you choose, though. They all have merit.
