Default Newbie Review of Grand Canyon

Well guys and gals, as promised I finally finished PP some pictures I took with my fiancé during our trip to the Grand Canyon and Vegas. If you've read some of my past posts it's pretty clear I'm no pro, just a guy that has recently discovered the enjoyment of photography.

I'm not experienced enought to ask for any specific feedback. At this point I just want to make sure I'm on the right track with composition and PP.
I would also like to know if my post processing is ok. All the PP I did here was mainly adjusting midtone lighting and contrast. It was a pretty hazy day so I felt the colors were lost a bit

I posted a couple of the images here and the rest are in Flickr and can be accessed through the link below if you want to see the set.

All pictures were taken with a Canon 50D and a 17-55mm f2.8 lens. The lens had a Singh Ray polarizing filter on it. On some pictures I also used a Singh Ray ND filter.

Everything was a learning experience, from the picture taking, to the gear.
I tried to use the 1/3 rule and also tried some framing techniques.

Also, how do I add the EXIF data so you can can view it if you chose to?

Here is the Flickr link:
