Mesa Arch, in Canyonlands National Park (UT), glowing orange with the first sunlight.

Yes, we have all seen many photos of this arch and this one is exceptional! I really like the more diagonal view and the great leading lines that generates. Beautiful shot.
Was it crowded? Did you get your choice of spots?

... I really like the more diagonal view...

Funny, the exact thing that putts me off. One of the worst views (among decent ones) I've seen of the iconic place. Very unbalanced composition.

I don't think its unbalanced.  Very strong leading line from right to left makes the shot for me.  A great image from a landscape master.

Leading where? Out of the picture? Or to that tiny tree on top?

The inner edge leads round to the central distance.  This is a great shot of a subject so many people shoot.

I have to concur with the folks that love the composition.  It's a really nice original attempt at a well-worn subject, and the color and contrast work nicely to bring the viewer around the arch and back to the cathedral in the center.   Check it out....  It's also aided by the fact that the darkness in the center left (at the focus of the spiral) gives a weight that contrasts with the very light background behind the main part of the rock arch to the right.   Really really well done IMHO.

Thank you very much everyone, I am glad that you enjoyed my take on Mesa Arch - it's always difficult to get a new perspective on such a photographed subject, and I am glad if I could make it  :D

Thank you James for the "golden section" graphics, I couldn't explain it better.

All the best,

Vieri

I did enjoy it, thanks.  I don't know exactly when I'll go.  Typically the domestic trips fit in opportunistically since they can be planned a little easier last minute.
