Arches National Park

Two photos merged together. Comments appreciated.

The harsh shadow in the middle is probably too much. What do you think?

You did good on this one. The cloud is the great touch which balance the whole composition. The shadow is negative element but you have minimize that. Impressive work.

I was just there about 2 weeks ago myself, and I feel this photo captures it very well. Was this a morning or evening shot? Nice job!

Thanks Kurt and Zack for your positive comments. This photo was taken on 8/20 at approximately 6:30 PM.

The late afternoon sun projects a fiery light on Park Avenue rocks. I have a photo from the same angle but in the middle afternoon when the sky polarizes very dark and makes the place look different http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=6051817&size=lg
