Arch-Alabama Hills

Fabulous black and white with full tonal range. If you could have included the top of the rock without endangering your life, I would have preferred that but the original is still very good.

Thanks Tony-The Alabama Hills  area is near to a small town (Lone Pine)  in the Eastern Sierras, and I was the fourth or fifth person in line to get this view-slipping and sliding and getting my body into shapes that my almost octogenarian body did not seem appropriate.  I debated about the cropping,  but I finally decided on this, as I liked the "flow"of the arch in the frame. In retrospect , I think a somewhat smaller focal length would have given both a sense of the arch and the background without cutting off the top of the arch.  Well, I get to go back this summer.  Thanks again, Phil
