Pete, enjoy seeing your landscapes at Arches! Interesting context for the first one, with the green hills and snowy mountains in the background, but I think it suffers somewhat from the frontal light. I had the same sort of problem at Grand Canyon recently...

The "wall" is interesting as I wonder how it was formed and the natural forces destroying it. But I think my favorite of the four is the last "hole in the rock" with the bush having failed in its struggle to survive. The rock makes a frame and contributes to an attractive composition.
