Arches National Park

I suppose all of us visiting Arches National Park have to shoot this scene.

Thanks for looking.

Interesting clouds and composition.

A very nicely composed beautiful shot, Dominick!

Hey Ben, I'm sure you noticed I took your advice and got rid of the watermark.  Thanks, as always, for your input.

Nice photo; I think backing off on the polarizer a bit would still enhance the clouds but not turn parts of the sky black or nearly black.

Stephen, you should have seen it before I fixed it!     But, sometimes these sky's are so blue, one would have to see them to believe them.  This was not one of those times ;-)

Dominick, I'm guessing that before it was "fixed," the sky was a pretty blah, nearly uniform white, and you've been able to bring out a lot of detail and definition that made the sky much more attractive.  Am I close?

Stephen,  spot on is more like it!

Dominick,  I worked on lightening those dark areas of the sky (increased exposure with the adjustment brush in Camera RAW) and added more contrast to the arch and ground.  How do you like it?  Isn't Arches a great park?  Best to you.  Larry

Larry, the sky is much better and the contrast adds dimension.  Thanks for the input.  Aloha.

Larry's edits have removed the single reservation I had about the sky, and it seems more realistic with the relatively uniform blue.  I know so little about PS; I'll have to try to learn more about Larry's technique.

I've been here but you've done a much better job of photographing it than I did. Marvelous Indeed!

Very Good!
