Title: South Window Arch, Moab, Utah

OK. Bad light. Iconic structures that have been shot by thousands. Successful or no?

Interesting, at least. Would like it much more with less prominent copyright-mark.

Finally something different from this rather over-photographed area. What an amazingly unique point-of-view/composition that begs a thousand questions. Wonderful! One suggestion might be to slightly raise the contrast of the rock - perhaps with stronger Clarity (in LR).

I like that! I know someone around here not liking the dark sky, but I think it is very good.

I like the first one a lot, and I think Terry's suggestion for a bit more contrast in the rock is spot on.

This makes a stunning abstract out of an otherwise over-photographed scene. Nice work!

Bad light, maybe but this is a very nice photo with an interesting framing. Well done and bravo for the unusual Window image!
