Nice composition. Processing may be a problem. Not really thrilled with the vignetting or the burning of the edges.

Great scene and nice composition, the second version is better without the vignetting, but still the HDR effect is too strong for my tastes. :wavey:

I like the second version better. nice comp...the processing is not my taste. There's too much HDR effect...there's a halo around the tree.

...and the colors in the canyon behind the tree don't match the rest of the canyon to the right of the tree.
I would advise starting all over with the processing as you have a splendid composition here.

You're more than welcome with results like this. Much better, Enrique!!
Reducing the blue haze color cast in the canyon a bit would be an asset, IMO.
Quite a beautiful scene you captured here!

The vignetting looks a bit heavy for my tastes, but the image is beautiful. Wonderful comp and color. Wish there was a larger version to view.

I like the colors and textures in the first and the balance of light in the second. This really captures the spirit of the canyon well.

Processing can be a pain and only some photographers actually admit that. Some will say I did it in 3 seconds with my eyes closed "done". Some people on this site will not touch HDR tonemapping but it can create so much more detail in the blandest of skies as it has done in this shot. The non tone mapped image will probably print the finer details more crisply but the background still has a heavy cyan cast in it. A little bit of warmth and contrast adjustments may help that area.
