Here are a few more shots taken at sunset from the Fiery Furnace viewpoint in Arches a few days ago. Some of the compositions are similar, but the light was dramatic and changing quickly. Thanks for looking...

'Fiery Furnace 1' is much better than your first post!
The muted light and selective lighting really brings out the depth and colors that were lacking in the original image.
The sandstone in the foreground especially benefits from the lack of direct light.

As per the original, these could all stand to be sharpened.
Glad you hung aroung to take advantage of the shifting light. That really paid off.

Nice, Jeff! I like seeing the different lighting in #1-3. I think #1 is my favorite of the bunch.

1 and 2 are really nice and work for the reasons John mentions. Can't decide which I like better. You got some nice clouds in the others.

1-3 are awesome. The changing highlights are excellent in each of these images!
