Too much Clarity (?) for me. The distant mountain shade of blue also kind of too much?

Exactly… but I like the framing a lot.

Fair points: I've reduced the clarity a little (it's an HDR image, which perhaps explains why it looks as if it has too much). I've also reduced the saturation on the mountains: they really were that blue (in that I've not fiddled with the saturation at al), but I suppose it appears excessive.

I wasn't there, but this looks better to me.

I like Bruce's variant.

I can see that aesthetically it might, but I have to say that it doesn't reflect my memories of the scene: it has a greenish hue, and the colours were pretty lurid, particularly as the sun rose. Brighter is good, though.
It was taken from the ledge in Arches NP from which one takes the classic shot of Turret Arch through the North Window. The ledge was crowded that morning and I was fairly late, so I didn't get far enough to the left to get a clean view; I'll post later what I did manage.
