I don't see what makes one better than the others
The 2 Paul called out, and I agree with him, are images in which there is no
question in what you want the viewer to look at, the subject is isolated,
simplified and defined. In some of the others, you've included other things
that are distracting, IMO, and are calling for my eyes to pay attention to
them.

I think 207 and 151 are worthy shots,
Thanks. Though 006 is the one with the cormy.
but you need to edit the set yourself.
There's the rub, They all look to be of about equal quality to me, I tried
to narrow it down to the best one or two of each type. I don't see what
makes one better than the others. Which is why I so much appreciate more
detailed critique. A few of the photos have people, or birds, doing
something, which I think makes the photo more interesting, it's not just
of a pretty place, but it's of something happening at a pretty place.
That's why I posted 022 as the PESO, because I found it amusing to see all
these other guys out there taking pretty much the same photo as each
other, which was pretty much the same photo as 006 or 151.
Landscapes don't change. Photographing them once again isn't necessarily
wrong or cliched, particularly when the photographer brings his own
vision to bear on the scene.
I joke a lot about cliche, but I am not ashamed to occasionally indulge in
it. It is cliche for a reason. There are some photographers, like my mom,
who seemed to only photograph sunsets at the beach.
Both of these shots are interesting and well done, with 207 being the
best in my opinion.
Thank you again.

I had some free time this afternoon, it looked like it would be a nice
sunset, and I was a mile or two from Natural Bridges. When I got there,
I found out that I wasn't the only one thinking along those lines:

If you are in the mood for a huge pile of cliche, here's the whole set:

The photographer in several of them was some guy named Scott. As I told
him, he made a great compositional balance. Rather than just a picture
of the landscape, I felt having him in there helped to tell a story.
