I posted some (more complete) photos on a thread in post your photos, but here are a couple shot with the DA *55 of my kids sledding.

Wow, that is really a nice image. I want that one hanging in my family room poster size

Karro... is that what the colours looked like when you were there? Most of the pictures I've seen of slot canyons were a lot richer.

K-3 and 18-135....

Norm, it all depends on the white balance and exposure correction, as it seems

When I was there myself, I was surprised to find out, that the colors are there, alright, but they're not that bright and exaggerated as usually seen in the pictures, more pastel-y, if that's a word, at least in the lower Antelope.
As for this particular image - I underexposed by 1.5 stops, I liked the mood better this way; in reality it was lighter. as for the balance - pretty close to the real life.

I like them, especially first two which give great sense of motion. Did you have SR enabled? I ask because in the second photo the blurred trees in the background seem to show a double image which might be SR doing a large move or running out of travel maybe?

I did. I was panning a little and left the SR on, which was probably a mistake.

A couple of DA 16-50 photos.
