Angela, I like the composition and the clarity. It may be my monitor or the hour of the evening but I think the background has a red cast to it that looks unnatural.

Regards,

Carol

Nice composition Angela, there is plenty for the eye to wander through. I'm hoping to make it back there someday. There are a couple of dust spots in the sky and is that a fence or roadway at right center?

Angela, I like the composition and view. The low angled evening light is nice on the sandstone and mountain, but the warmth may be affecting the sky color. Some haloing around the center spires. Have you tried some of John's 20/50/0 image polish?

It looks good to me Angela. I think the composition is fantastic. I do see the haloing Doug pointed out, but probably would have never noticed it had someone else not mentioned it. Great work.

I like the composition with the view. I see the haloing too and the background (mountain) seems to have a slight color cast. But it's a beautiful shot

Angela, a very easy on the eye image IMHO! One of your better efforts. I also see the haloing, but not that distract to me. Do like the color cast on the mountains in the BG. Thanks for sharing.

Just love the juxtaposition between the sandstone and the mountains. Could maybe see cropping a bit more off the bottom to add focus to the spires and arch.
