Mesa Arch

This was not quite the sunrise I was hoping for at Mesa Arch but I've never seen rays quite as spectacular as these before.

I think this is the 1st tone downed photo of this arch i have seen. And i really love it, its incredible to see such a great detail in distance.

[dlplumer]

Top notch. One of my favorite photos ever :bow :bow

[Tango]

what the.... !

not the sunrise you were hoping for?.....

ya, you should delete this file...or just pass it onto me:D

[sgonen]

Wow - pretty amazing. I second Aaron, if this is not the sun rise you are looking for then I can't wait to see it when you find it.

[Doug Solis]

Yea, I'm not sure what you were hoping for but this looks like a winner to me! I really like the perspective, as Awais said you don't see this image nearly as much as the full arch from a distance.

Nicely done.

Seriously one of the, if not the, best image of Mesa Arch I've ever seen. :bow

[rwells]

Everything about this shot is awesome Danny :bow

[Sexy6Chick]

This is fantastic!!:clap

[Nikolai]

Great rays indeed! :thumb

[coscorrosa]

Yep, instead of the cliche shot you were going for you got something better, hate when that happens! :D

Might be just a *touch* over saturated, but I still love it anyway. I wish I would have stuck around a little longer but the crowd was getting on my nerves.

[Yellowstonegirl]

That shot totally rocks! :bow

Love it! Not the iconic shot (and that is a good thing); a fresh look at a MUCH shot scene. Great job.

[dseidman]

Wow, I'm surprised by how much people like this shot. Thanks to everyone for the kind words. :D

The sunrise I was hoping for was the cliche glow under the arch shot. However, the cloud cover on the horizon was a bit too heavy for direct sunlight but it did yield these incredible rays that stretched across the valley. I guess my problem with the photo is that the colors are a bit too muted but that might not always be such a bad thing.

Ron, I think I'm going to take the saturation down just a touch in the midground but I'll probably leave the rest as is.

As the others have said, this shot is definitely a wonderful capture. Of course it's not the cliche shot everyone always goes for but wow, it is very unique in itself. I really love it. Good job!

[eMOJO]

Spectacular Danny....just spectacular!

[chrismoore]

I know what you mean about the sunrise (I think)... but you captured a very unique shot that is different from all the others I've seen and IMO better.:thumb

[dseidman]

Thank you all very much for the comments! I had no idea that this picture would be so liked. Sometimes you just can't tell.
