As is with the American Icons I have seen them all in magazines/books. I hope you were not about to fall in the valley here. Liked the view certainly different. Like your other images liked it very much! :toast:

You did good with this perspective,it's certainly unusual and very dynamic. The lighting is perfect for this shot ; I love combination of cool/warm colors too.

I do really like this perspective of Mesa Arch. The lighting is just great especially the "under glow".

Kenneth,

This is superb!The light simply couldn't be any more pleasing, and you've done a wonderful job exploring its quality. I can see that you took very great care when composing this, as it would be very easy for the tableland in the far background to merge with the arch.

I really do get the feeling I'm standing on a ledge above the drop. Very nicely done! :smile:
