I found it to be an interesting place and a good way to kill a few hours before Vegas airport arrival.

Nice set. I really like the first one and I agree it could be neat as a B&W also.

I much prefer the color version. Maybe not enough contrast for a good B&W?

What do you think:
QUOTED IMAGE

I'd try decreasing the blue & cyan way down and increasing the contrast to get more separation from the sky.

Here's my take on the first one. It shows up some of the compression, but if you did this with the original image it would look better.

Nice shots! I actually like the third one. Would love to see it larger. It's such a unique landscape there.
