Great captures! Opposite of others here, I've seen pictures of the second location before, but not the first.
I loved Utah when I visited four years ago, but I never made it to Grand Staircase-Escalante. I'm planning a return trip to Zion in the next year or two, and your photos definitely make me want to add GSE onto the itinerary!
Don't change the color/contrast. These images are more credible without the jacked up TV-set color that is popular these days. The first one *seems *to be missing the bottom part...my eye nags to see the curve of the rock just below and out of frame.
