You have some nice compositions here, but I think you've pushed the shadows way too far. The second photo in particular shows the tell tale signs of this. The shadow region near the middle of the photo has very low saturation, then it transitions to a reddish area as it moves toward a brighter area to the left. Also, you'll end up with some of these lightened shadow areas that fall off to pure black very fast, like in the last photo where the canyon wall meets the floor. Don't be afraid of dark tone, it helps give a sense of mystery to a photo. It's certainly good to have detail in the shadows so they don't block up, but you don't have to pull so much detail from the shadows that they lose the color, get noisy, and have awkward transitions when bordering brighter areas.
