Ron,
Thanks! Looking at the sky shots now, I'm thinking they're over-polarized,
i.e. too unnaturally blue. It's my nature to turn everything up to '11'
when given the opportunity to do so, but in this case the effect is less
than desireable. I'm going to Zion next month, so I'll try '9' instead.

If you ever do make it out to Antelope Canyon, I'd suggest contacting Roger
Ekis re the tour. An outside tour company is required -- canyon is on
Navajo territory, and they don't let anyone other than tour companies they
have an arrangement with enter the canyon. Nice guy, extremely interested
in your experience and satisfaction, gets you there before the 50 other
photographers, knows when to give advice on shooting the canyon and when to
shut up, shows you where the beams come through and at what time, etc.
He's been shooting the canyon for years and knows (and shares) just about
everything you'll need to know.
No, I'm not affiliated nor buddies with Roger. Just giving a
recommendation to a quality-concious vendor. An increasingly rare find
these days.
Dave

I think you should be very pleased Dave. Good composition and terrific
scenery. The polarizer definitely adds punch. I really can't detect any
vignetting in the 24's unless you cropped them before. I've just purchased
a used 24 myself and can't wait to deplete some silver. My only criticism,
and it's out of your control, is a dynamic sky. You know, one of those
filled with puffy cumulus clouds that are far more interesting than flat
skies.
I especially like the lower 4 photos. I've always wanted to shoot this
location if I ever get out there. In my opinion there all keepers!
