Very nice, the swirling clouds and the shape of the small tree on the right play very well together. The light is also superb and gives a very different look compared to the usual blue sky and orange cliffs.

Your Utah trip has really been a goldmine for you, Mark.

Another fine one. The foreground rock has lots to look at it without being overprocessed.

Very nice composition, but I would prefer it with a bit more of colour or vividness. It seems that the saturation was turned down a notch?

I love the way in which the weather curving cracks in the foreground rocks, are echoed by the shape of the tree's trunk & the bends in the river canyon beyond. That said, the left-hand side of the image offers very little. My eye is drawn inexorably to the right hand side of the photo. Maybe a square-ish crop?

That is just a super shot. I love it. Everything blend together so well and the swirling effect is just cool. I don't think it needs more saturation (as someone above suggested) but I do think I might try to lighten it a bit just to see. On first viewing, it seems a little heavy but after looking for a bit, not so much. I'm not saying it's too dark, just that, if it were mine, I'd try it a bit lighter too.

Ditto.

The sky almost looks like a ceiling ... felt the need to duck as I was drawn into the image :)

This one is really stellar, ground and sky. A standout image.
