This was an interesting spot and I tried a few compositions. Among these, I still can’t decide on my favorite.

ILCE-1 FE 12-24mm F2.8 GM lens 13mm f/11.0 1/40s 100 ISO -1.0 EV

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.

Our group will be touring with Action Photo Tours out of Kanab. Did you solo?

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.

No, mine was a Mark Metternich workshop. An outfitter took us all in. Can’t remember the name.

Nice work Bob. #3 for me. 12mm really comes in handy sometimes!
