I like the lighting on the great formations and the long shadows in the foreground. The elongated clouds add interest to the sky. An appealing image, Rick Well done. Chet

What a great scene - I love this place as well. It's a great image… I might try increasing contrast and/or highlights in the foreground a little, but what you have looks great to my eye.

Nice contrast in the B&W image. This definitely shows the diversity of the landscape at Arches. While I like the panoramic format, my interest lies in the upper 1/3 of the image and the foreground doesn't really hold my interest. This definitely looks like an intriguing place to explore, but a much stronger composition in my opinion would be to get closer to the fins.

Arches presents so many opportunities, I can't wait to go back. I like this shot, Rick, but I have to agree with Brian, that the foreground does not add much to the image. The rest of the image with rock formations and clouds work well.

Rick, What a fantastic looking place this is! All those formations are pretty amazing looking and I like your b&w processing. I agree that the foreground doesn't quite have the interest of the formations, but I do like how it gives me a real feel for the place and it's environment, so I think it works well. Very nicely done!

Love this area and its unique rock formations Rick.
Great pano comp, clouds, & time of day - The long shadows help to add a 3D look.
Well done Tex!
