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 shot is absolutely fantastic. Great work!

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

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.

Everything about this shot is awesome Danny

This is fantastic!!

Nikolai

Great rays indeed!

coscorrosa

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

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.

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

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

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!

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.

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.
