I like the first and last of the new images you put up. Well I have found that the best times to shoot Desert shots is at dawn and dusk, but it depends on what sort of desert you are shooting. E.g if its dunes then you can use the sun to your advantage, so it shows all the ripples and ridges, and very strong shadows. I would try to avoid between say 12-2 as this gives very harsh lighting. One other thing if proper sand dunes take 2 bodys and different lens on them as change lens could lead to untold troubles.

Thanks, sunset / sunrise seem to be pretty universal for landscapes.
I got a chance to look at Joshua Tree brochure today. They have some nice sample photos. It helps.
I also like 1 and 5, but 2 is the one I've made my most recent Desktop. An artistically inclined co-worker / fellow photo enthusiast said he really likes #5. For me; #5 is sort of ho-hum but not bad. Something's still off though.
