Count me as a fan of #2. The "half tree" on the far right of the image is a bit distracting, but I can't see how you could make it disappear without altering your choice of cropping.
What a beautiful place, by the way. Very high on my wishlist.

Thanks, Federico. I have lived in Arizona for 9 years, but it has been more than 30years since I had been to the Canyon. The weather was terrible for 3 of our 4 days, but that made the light interesting. It is an amazing place. Yes, I wanted to get that tree outta there (and might try a little PS to see if I can make it happen), but this is the best I could do for the moment.
I visited the Grand Canyon in 2005. I think that for the most part, photographs do not do it justice. It's quite the awe inspiring place! I think your second shot is terrific.
