Big fins in Arches

Here's a shot from the far northern end of Arches (near Navajo Arch) looking south toward La Sal Mountains. This was about a half hour after sunset. It was a few weeks ago... my first visit to Arches NP. That place is awesome!

Hi Jack. This is a beautiful photo. I have been to Arches many times and never made it to this point.
I like the tones, but would suggest a color boost (velvia-like). Also, I would play with cropping the foreground. To me, there is too much of it. In fact, my favorite comp would be to crop to just above the FG rock (2/3 of the photo), and have a panoramic photo with beautiful fins and mountains. Thanks for posting.

Jack, I was just in Arches this week, a light snow covering made it really nice, I havent been to this point, we were on our way to Page so didnt have much time to look around, I liked Windows though. Nice picture.

Fantastic - beautifully captured, Jack. The foreground formations, and the graduated light stretching across them, is a great compliment to the fins and the La Sals. Nice, warm subtle hues throughout... excellent all around!

Very nice, Jack. Nice leading line with the fins.
Arches is one of my favorite places. I never get to spend enough time there.
Southern Utah is great!

Very cool image, Jack. I also like your image of Sand Dune Arch.

Great shot Jack, and I totally agree about Arches. I spent a couple of days there a couple of years ago, but could spend a week poking around there!

I like it! Nice light and pastel tones. Arches is one of my favorite places to shoot, as well.

Really neat image, Jack. Not your standard composition from Arches. I like the soft light and leading line created by the fins. Well done!

Thanks for all your comments!
