Mesa Arch Fuji 617 Pano II

Compare this to another version taken minutes before with the sun not visible in my folder Best Images. I had to remove a lens flare, but other than that the image is true to the slide. Does it work better with or without the sun? Thanks.

I like the delicacy of the previous version, but they are both utterly spectacular.

Beautiful!

Both are terrific. The sun not only adds an element, but the colors on the sandstone seem slightly improved.

Compare to other version in Best Images Folder. Does the sun add or

detract. Thanks.

Excellent!

Magic

 

I prefer the one taken with the Mamiya, but they are all rather spectacular. Great place for photography. Cheers, SV

The geometry and color contrast give a superb immediate impression. THe image continues to entertain with a sense of depth, awe, and mystery.

Very beautiful image. If I can say something, then I would have liked to see the opening closed at the right side, just like the left side. And maybe a bit more cropped at the top and then to see a bit more below the bottom. The sun is great placed there. Well done otherwise!

I am really sorry that I didn't go to Mesa arch in the dawn of the day I left Moab. I now know what I missed. This is a spectacular image and I have seen many of these, none is better. I love the foreground and the layering of the underlying canyons.

I like the sun; it adds a nice touch to the picture. As an aside, I consider removing lens flare a "manipulation".

Wonderful!

I like the mystic colors

Amazing!

Absolutely beautiful! Bravo!

Great shot! Good use of shadows and highlights.

Wow ! What a photo. Absolutely stunning. You get 7/7 from me. (I think the shot *with* the sun is better - because it adds something to the otherwise black arch roof.) I love the varying tones of mountains below, and the warmth felt. Richard Thompson - fotoz.co.uk

The sun adds a strong point of focus to this image making it's composition much stronger than the sunless version. IMO this is clearly the better of the two. Well done!.

Amazing

Nice, unreal panorama.

Would like to see more light on the stone, but this photo stands on it's own.

I love this shot, especially the colors of fog. It's unreal!

Perfectly executed - definitely a wall hanger. Still, hard to rate this icon of Canyonlands high on originality.

Great work for worth the trek!
