Turret Arch through North Window, Arches National Park, Utah
D2X, 24-70mm @ 26mm, f/16 @ 2.5 sec, iso 100

Classic view of Turret Arch. Taken pre-dawn after scrambling to the perch on the east side of the window. A bit cold (for this warm weather guy) but well worth the wait for things to lighten up.

Nice work Rich. Good flow to the rocks in the FG arch. I like the large expanse of sky you included.

I agree with Robert...nice job on the image. I've shot this also and and struggled with that perch(getting over that rock). Just a suggestion...when I shot it I gave a bit more room on the right of north window so it wasn't perfectly balanced...however nice capture!

Hey Rich,
Been there a bunch of times and I must say you've done the spot proud. The light you captured is perfect and the subtle pinks are a very nice touch. The time of day here really brought out the details nicely in both N window and Turret Arch.
Very well done!

Beautiful color contrasts. I have been there but middle of the day and imagined a nice shot of that. Well done.

I'm there in less than a month. Hopefully I can this colorful a sky.

Sweet colors Rich, well worth the hike for a flatlander.
