    Natural Bridge

    Old shot here, maybe from 10 years ago when I explored Utah for the first time. No way to tell with film (another advantage of digital). Mamiya 645, Velvia film.

    Sorry for the very wide format, but it just looks better as large as possible. Not sure it's anything special?

    I like the detail and the colors and think the limbs in the upper left really add to the image, Jeff

    Love the colors, and details on the rocks

    I think it is nice for a md day shot. The composition and exposure is well done along with a nice sharp scan. Nice work leave it as is.

    Thanks fellows.

    I believe I shot this one with my Mamiya 55mm lens. That equates to about a full frame 34mm lens.. borderline wide.

    I find the detail w/ the Mamiya lens can't be beat.

    The only thing that bugs me is the even blue sky. I want something else up there..

    Thanks again for commenting.

    Yep - one fluffy white cloud in the arch and it would be great. Even so, I like it.

    Thanks Mike. It is spectacular to view in person, though visiting it once is all you probably need.

    Here's another pic of it, this time w/ vertical format. It would probably be better if there were something in the sky to add a twist - a bird, a plane, a ..
