Turrent Arch
This was my first opportunity to use my new Rokinon 14mm. The image was done in the Windows Section of Arches Natl Park of South Window through Turrent Arch late afternoon. I am quite happy with the lens, especially with the price. Although it is manual focus this is no problem usually for landscape shooters. CC always welcome.

Frame within a frame within a frame. Cool!

I agree-nice 'windows' shot!

Different perspective than I was expecting! Interesting shot.

It's nice, but I can't help but wonder if allowing the foreground arch to go into shadow (if possible) might have added a bit more pizazz. Posting this in the 'Nikon Adobe RGB' color space robbed this of a bit of 'pop' when viewing via a Web browser.

I agree with John. The colors seem a bit muted here to me too than what might be possible using a different colorspace or shooting in different weather conditions. However, I LOVE the perspective. It's unlike anything I've seen from this location!
