Booth Creek Canyon, Vail, CO

This is my first post of "real" photos in quite a while. These were from a hike up Booth Creek Canyon in Vail, CO. Mid-October 2007, during the wrong time of day...(around noon). I thought they had a nice contrast of "warm" and color-saturated in the first one, vs. "cold" and contrasty/little color in the second. I'd love to get any comments or critiques that you all care to provide. Thanks!

Ok, I have been struggling with getting the first picture to show up. Does this one (attached to original post) show up? It's strange...I posted both pictures using the same method, the second one appears (at least for me), the first one gives me a red x. I am using (or trying to use) picasa. Have any of you had problems linking to images from picasa? Thanks for the help, and let me know if they still are not showing up!
