Description Arches National Park again.
This is the oldest arch in the park and the most fragile of them all... Actually, the rangers at the park have no idea how long it will remain standing tall.
It crumbles bit by bit as the years pass so.. If you have an opportunity to go to Arches NP, DO IT!

Full view, please!

This is a wonderful pic, and it's even more amazing in real life, huh?

Spectacularly beautiful places can be surprisingly difficult to photograph well - in the majority of cases the results are disappointing. Interestingly, I think it's the inclusion of the mundane fence in the foreground that makes this one work so well.

I just love pics of the desert SW. When I lived in Glenwood Springs CO, I used to drive to Sedona AZ frequently and always took the road through Moab and Four Corners. I never got drowsy while drive either, it was all just so beautiful!

Great shot!

It's incredible how strange forms can the rocks have. I like the shot very much, I'll have probably not included the wood fence if I was there taking the pic, but looking at it now it makes the composition much better!! Great photo!

Thank you so much!! Arches National Park is one of the most incredible places I've ever seen... The colors and the shapes of the rocks there are simply unbeleivable!

Beautiful view of a very interesting piece of landscape! I'd say its a little bit over-exposed, this may be the reason for the sharp impression (?). Very good work!

Yeah, I know there's a problem of sharpness... I'll find a way to fix it somehow... I hope

I see the point about it being a touch over-sharpened, but apart from that it's pretty much perfect. Another great landscape shot of another great landscape!

Thank you!! I'll try to fiw the sharpening problem, though I'm not sure it will look better... I promise to do my best!!

Wonderful shot. looks a touch over-sharpened. Can't say that for sure, but if you haven't tried, you might want to do and unsharpen and see if it looks better or worse. Perfect composition, great subject.

AmberSunset In reply to hfpierson [2005-11-26 09:07:27 +0000 UTC]

I tried to unsharpen a bit, but it didn't look better so I decided to leave it this way. Thank you for the compliments!!

This really is quite lovely... you can certainly see how fragile this place is, it looks so delicate. The lighting is very nice and I really like the mix of colours with the greens and browns/reds Gorgeous capture.
