From the 'Canyon

I have the 7D and really like it, but don't have much to compare to

I cropped that first one to follow the Rule of Thirds. It seems to give the canyon more depth and emphasis. i also brought down the purple some. Do you guys like this version better? Be critical..
 
Thanks

   Just me but I think I would add some contrast. Something like this......

Good idea! I like that contrast in the valley areas. I'll add a layer and up the contrast down there. Thanks.

Theres a point where messing with the photo makes it look fake.

Great pictures of an incredible area.  One of the few places in the world, though, that a picture can't truly do justice.  You have to stand on the rim of the grand canyon to really, really appreciate it.  I've been down there numerous times (go hunting out of Moab every year for the last 25) and would advise that if you get a chance you should see the area in the winter.  The contrast of the white snow against the red rocks is incredible and the crowds of people are gone. Take the "grand loop" and go out thru monument valley up to Moab and then swing back over to the Bryce and Zion area, you'll burn out your camera taking pictures.
