Washer Woman Arch

I made it to the RMNP "spring fling" in Moab this weekend and had a great time hanging out with a bunch of talented guys. We went to Canyonlands (Grand View) for sunrise. On the way out of the park, a few of us stopped at the oft-photographed Mesa Arch. There was still a little trademark glow, but my eye was caught by the blue-toned scene on the canyon floor below. Comments and/or suggestions appreciated as always.

I think it looks good Angela...I like the mistiness look to it. I might like to see just a little more room at the top but not a big deal.

I agree the comp layering in excellent Angela. The light and atmosphere is sweet. Also agree a little more room on top would have been nice.

This is very nice. the blue on blue tones make it easy to look at and the haziness adds a bit of mystery.

I like the tones in this. The low contrast really helps the woman stand out from the background.

I really like this, Angela. Different perspective and wonderful layering with the light.

I love this location. Nice blue tones and layering. I agree with others that a little more room at the top might help.
