I just think the shot was very well composed, and wanted to see how it would look with a little more contrast and saturation, hope you like it! :) (just enhanced the contrast a tad in photoshop as well as increased the saturation)

This is delicate arch taken from the opposite ridge. We couldn't tell until we got up there just what angle the sun would shine. There was no advantage to the sunset from this side. I suppose that is why everyone was going the other way!!! Duh! We just shun crowds. I like this view though, as the arch looks even more delicate. It is unique in that it is free standing and probably not long for this world. Just in my life time several arches and balanced rocks have fallen.

I cloned out people in this shot... they looked like ants against the sky and around the base of the arch.

I felt that the duck, the weeds and the ripples in the back could have also created a triangle of three elements, so I cropped out the top of the photo, and threw in that border again, hope you like it! :)

It seems that whenever we encounter bears they are either on the move overturning earth and stones as they go or else they stop and have their heads in a hole. This is the way these bears posed for a long time.

This is what we have to do sometimes in order to get an unobstructed view.

Adjustment Layers

I thought a subtle color and contrast adjustment might make your outstanding image stand out a bit more.
Steps:
1-Selective Color Adjustment Layer to blacken the blacks and whiten the whites. Masked out a little of the blackenin on the lower feathers
2-Hue/Sat Adjustment Layer to up master sat by +32 and Greens by +20
3-Added new 50% Grayscale Layer just to dodge the eye for brighten it as much as I could.
4-Applied more noise reduction for nice smooth background after my above changes made it grainier.
