Nice compositions. My vote would be for #3, but I might pull down the background exposure just a tad. Again, they're all well done. Probably make some very nice B&W conversions too.

#3 for me. We're visiting the area in October and its hard sitting here viewing some recent posts and trying to be patient. Thanks for sharing.
You will love it. I could spend a few days there as it seems to possess unlimited composition opportunities.
The third for me also. This was a good compositional exercise; I tried to analyze why and had a hard time. I think the leading lines left and right are longer and give more of a vanishing horizon point. Since your focal lengths were all close, I'm guessing you stood further back in the last one.

Thanks for the reply. For the last one I simply moved to the right to hug the wall. I like this comp for its leading lines and the larger view of the mountains in the distance.
I spent the night there once, when the moon was full. By sleeping in my Jeep, I was able to shoot sunset, sunrise, moon rise and moon set. It was an epic experience, for sure. Made two other trips there over the years, it's such a phenomenal spot.
Your photos are all excellent, but number 3 is a clear winner.
Also agree with the others, I like #3 the best. The leading lines from the near right foreground lead straight into the further rock formations, making it a clear path for the eye to follow. If the eye follows the foreground leading lines in the others, it loops back rather than rolling straight into the further rocks.
