Spent a few days on the North Rim last week. What a place that big ol' ditch is. Took in a few sunrises on the rim, and did the classic Tapeats/Deer Creek loop. I'll post a few images here, more are here, if interested.
Very nice series, Dan. They seem to keep getting better as I go down the list. While the first 2 are very dramatic, the processing looks a little 'over the top' to me. 5, 6, and 7 are really nice. Like the composition with the barrel cactus in 5.

Thanks Dave. I'm on my laptop down here, so I appreciate the head's up on the processing. I'll revisit them with some more time and a better monitor.
#1 looks great .. I really like the processing here, just a tad over done, but it fits the picture and the landscape, #2 looks surreal, a bit too much over done in PP.... like the effect though, gives me a feeling of living in some unreal world... #7 looks fine, and natural. great series here.
On the contrary, I commend you on the processing of #1and 2. Simply sublime IMHO. I LOVE the deep tones in the shadows, the detail is exhilarating!! thank you for sharing.
Nicely done. The first two are overdone, but only because of they sky, imo. I think you've got a very interesting foreground in the first one. I'd play with the sky some, you've got some blown spots it looks like, and probably tone down the saturation of the yellows. Otherwise, great stuff.
Simply gorgeous! Even though #3 might be oversta. I like it :-)
We were supposed to go there in September (woulda been my first time) but hubby had a major medical issue, so it will be sometime next year. Thanks for the virtual trip!
This is a great set of images. I really like #2 but the highlights are a little overxposed, it draws my attention towards the sky instead of the main subject. #3 is great too, I really like the composition and the perspective
