Hi Evelynn,
this is probably the most iconic image of a natural rock arch there is, as I have seen it in books,magazines and old westerns and never do I tire of seeing it. The warm glow the sun has imparted on the arch makes it all the more appealing as it saturates the colours wonderfully and the form of it is nature's finest sculptural art.Evelynn,you have very crisp focus and an excellent pov for this capture and as a composition it is first rate.I wonder just how many people have gazed upon this scene and for how long.Thanks for this wonder of nature.The pov of the workshop photo is also great.I just have to see this someday before it falls down like the others mentioned in your note.

Hi Evelynn

I have hiked this trail twice - I know exactly what you mean about having to wait for people to clear the arch. What surprised me most about it is that it is actually on the edge of a bowl/basin formation. Great work.

Hi Evelyn,

You have made a natural phenomenon even beter with your good exposure, composition and DoF. It ppays to wait for the correct light on such a scene.

Hi Evelynn!

Yours is beautiful, too! Just different. It's funny that we both had the same idea. And it's a fine experience at the same time: it shows us how different a subject can appear under different conditions. I also like your narrative notes very much.

Kind regards

Hi Evelynn!
A kind of deja vu? ;> I am sure I saw this picture today! Of course it is a joke only :) But you are right, this place was presented a few hours agi by Markus :)
Anyway, it is always nice to see different points of view on the some place :)
Beautiful picture and wonderful place. I wish I will see it one day :>

Amazing capture of this natural artwork.That shape near the bottom of it looks like a foot.
This is great Evelynn. The colours and compo turned out so nice.

Bonjour Evelynn,
Cet angle de prise de vue est très prisé sur TN pour composer, chaque fois, une publication différente. Très belle image bien éclairée dans laquelle le regard porte loin, grace à ce fabuleux premier plan, et a mille détails à découvrir.
A bientôt sur TN pour de nouvelles aventures.

Hi Evelynn.
What a nice case to see two nice shots of the same place. Both of you have shown it differently at different time and state of weather. Excellent warm lighting and colours palette. Impressive shadows and great details. Perfect job and TFS.

First Markus and now you. As I wrote to Markus, its great to see that nothing has changed in 10 years time.
Its funny and said to read you story. You always hope that these place are less visited since people do leave their marks and most of the time they aren't great. But its good to read that the real photographers made sure that good photos were taken.
I like the difference in the two photos and I like the amount of detail you got in yours.
TFS,

Hi Evelynn

I love your view of this deicate arch, too. The warm tones are gorgeous and the perspective is lovely. Indeed i must say that the arch doesn't look all that huge from the photos...but i looked it up on the net :)
The story you tell is also a bit funny...but i think this is the kind of place worth visiting over and over again. Especially since they din't last that long (sadly!).
Anyway, back to the shot: beside the obvious amazing colors, i think the composition here is really good and the BG definitely helps it. Great work with the exposure, too.

Bravo and TFS

Great minds think alike!
It's interesting to see two different points of view Evelynn. I'll have to see if there are any winter images of this same rock. The rock is such a rich colour. I like the way the sun it lighting it up.

You know Eve...I saw this first off when you posted it...but then I was called out of the house right off and have been gone most of the day. For some reason even shopping later on this image came to mind...not sure why. It certainly is a fine image, but it must also be an archetype as well...it has some sort of inner meaning..and the saturation does the job...if I eer figure out what made it stick..I'll let ya know..otherwise..I like being reminded of TN through its good photos..

Hello Evelynn,
What are the chances of posting two side by side images of the same landscape yet with so different perspectives. Beautiful shot with just the right lighting to bring out the rich colors of the red rock.
Love the clear view of the snow covered Mountains in the BG. with that beautiful light blue sky. Well done!! TFS.

Hi Evelynn,
are you allowed to get any closer than this, or are you pretty much restricted to one spot? Whichever, this is a great POV and well composed. The colours are wonderful. Sorry to hear that you've lost a few of these rock arches, they are truly awesome...very well done.

Nice composition, a very interesting subject matter captured well. Pleasing colours and sharp throughout.

How are these arches formed? This one reminds me of someones thumb and forefinger being pushed together for some reason!?!

Hello Evelynn,
You must have a lot of patience always waiting for the right light! This is a fantastic view of this 'delicate' arch in wonderful light and fabulous colours. I like the sloping lines in the landscape and the mountains beyond. Very nicely composed!
TFS and best wishes, Ulla

Great shot of this amzing rock formation. I'm hopeful of getting over to see thsi area in March next year. Won't have time to wait for the light like you did, but its nice to see what it can look like.
Great composition.
