From the north end of the South Island of NZ, the Oparara River flowing through the Moria Gate Arch.

I liked that there was solid black all around the edges to emphasize the tunnelness. Went black and white because the sky was blown out on a typically cloudy west coast day.

Going b&w and your processing here provide a nice sense of darkness and a fine view upstream.  I'm enjoying the dark arch, the sparkly rock in the foreground and the strong sense of depth.

An excellent choice for this week's challenge, Dave.  The B&W is an interesting choice of presentation and with the dark underside of the arch probably works best.
