Hello Markus,
Fascinating content and apparently the right moment as well due to these dark clouds background-wise and the general lighting conditions.
Very good work and thanks for sharing it.

Now that is one cool slide scanner..I know that machine and if I had slides like this, I would second mortgage Jane to get one:-) NOT! I have nothing left to mortgage. I think I already owe Mr Rockefeller too much...A Wonderful grand image. You must have had a great time..You saw something I have not seen....Tres! something...or bien!

Hi Markus,
I too posted Delicate Arch today. I love your version with the sunlit arch against that dark sky and landscape. How did you manage to get all of the people out of the picture? A bunch of photographers all started yelling at them and they finally got the not so subtle hint. It is a special arch for sure and I am surprised that I had been to Arches Park several times before I actually made the trip up to it. That was probably because it was summer, and we couldn't park our camper anywhere.

It's a great picture. Thanks for sharing it.

Wow!
This is wonderful thing Markus! You visited amazing place, great not only for geologists but for all nature lovers! I must note this area, maybe some day I would be able to go there ;>
Amazing landscape and very beautiful picture! I wouldn't say that this is scanned photo. Natural, vivid colours, very good sharpness and clarity. Nothing to critique :>

Hi Markus!

This image is a bit strange to see from you, as it is not from the Alps :) But it still carries your way of seeing, it was not you if there was no mountain in a landscape! Lighting also brings something special with the shadow just stopping before the arch. And what makes it really yours is the perfect geometry in the composition, and the perfectly balanced expo! Very nice answer to a dedication. TFS!

Best regards,
Andor

Lieber Markus,
Dass man ein Dia so gut bearbeiten kann, dass es Nahe der Perfektion ist, das hätte ich nicht gedacht. Wirklich eine delikate, feine Aufnahme. Du hast gerade das richtige Licht erwischt. Und ich sehe auch, dass du schon vor zehn Jahren ein gutes Auge hattest!
Bravo, donc

One of the most photographed Arches in the world, I think. Superb light and colours in this photo. Fantastic with these dark clouds. Great sharpness and composition.
Kind regards,

Hi Markus.
I only can dream about such landscape masterpiece. Bravo. Simply outstanding shot by pictured scene and quality of the shot. I only do not agree with specification of the shot as W/B. Simply amazing lights and colours. Sharpness of all details is razor. POV and composition are the best too. Thanks for watch pleasure and kind regards.

Hi Markus,
I just saw that you and Evelynn posted a photo of the same arch but year appart. Its great to see that nothing has changed inbetween.
The light in this photo is probably the best part of the entire photo. It illuminated the arch perfectly and gave wonderful contrast against the dark moody sky. I can imagine that, for you, standing here was very special. Not only the spectacular view, but also beeing here on your wedding trip.
TFS,
Niek

Hi Markus

Splendid view of this delicate arch from you, too. I like to compare your shot with Evelynn's :)
The light here is amazing and the contrast it results in is lovely! I like how the arch itself is illuminated by the warm sunlight while the BG is so dark and cold...it makes the scenery look like from a film :)
Wonderful composition and spot-on exposure here, in my opinion.
I don't know if you've used any filtes for this, but if you didn't, the shot is even more valuable!

Bravo and TFS

Hi Markus
I love rocks and their natural beauty. I'm guessing this is a morning shot as the mountain are in the background and the light on the arch is on the east side?? Very picturesque, the rock, surrounding area, vegetations and sky. A really nice landscape.

What an amazing arched edifice this is. And all natural, worn away over millions of years, and now quite an exceptional work of art.
I hope it's still there.

Hallo nochmals, Markus,

das ist ja ein gescantesDia! Der Scan ist hervorragend gelungen. Das Bild ist ein Klassiker der Utah- Nationalparkbilder, indem Du den Abend abgewartet hast, wo das Rot des Gesteins verstärkt wird. Und dann hattest Du noch einen "Magic moment" à la Ansel erwischt, das Licht war wohl nur während Sekunden richtig. Das ist hohe Kunst, Markus!
Beste Grüsse
Dieter

Hello Markus,

A fine trip for a honeymoon.
Was this the bridal arch?

The details are awe inspiring!
The horizonal layers follow one after the other with different colours and different textures. Quite magnificent!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Marcus.
Thanks for your comment.
Wow.... I see you have this view too. Saw Evelynns.
I do like this natural structure.
Your lighting on it glows. I still say that looks like some foot at the right bottom. I would love to see something like this one day.

Having just seen Evelynn's lovely capture this is fascinating to see too! I like the bright sun light on the arch while the dark clouds have already cast their shadow on the background. Beautiful colours, find details and well composed.

Markus, I compliment you on this photgraph capture! The colors, composition and landscape are absolutely extraordinary. If there was any country in the world that I would love to live in, outside of my present location in the U.S.A. it would be Switzerland. Such beauty and grace are incorporated into Switzerland's make up that I cannot imagine anyone NOT wanting to live there. As I peruse more of your gallery I will make further comments. Being new to TN I am selecting photographs and persons that I find extremely interesting.

Hallo Markus
What a lovely combination of elements of nature all in one beautiful, almost historical landscape. The assortment of colours of the various elements compliments each other so well. It is a great pleasure to look at these rock formations so close to the eye, yet so far away. Indeed a lovely scenery. In my opinion is that this image in actual fact belongs in the text books of Geography students. Thanks for sharing such an amazing view. Kind regards
