Cunning photo, Frank. I wish there were a steady figure at the end instead of the leaper; a Hasidic Jew, for example, or a Muslim woman in a burkha. That would add an air of mystery for me. Well done. Matt

I understand completely. I was actually thinking cloning him out since he was a leaper and not sharp

The left-hand side of the Arches seems to have been drawn in a little. I think this can be cured with the DISTORT tab on PSE. Nice shot, got to be worth a try.

Nice shot, I would have plumbed the door way. It is crooked.

I will have to play with it in Lightroom. They have a whole section for distortion that I have used in the past.
Thanks for stopping by.

When I was walking around those arches just screamed at me to take the shot.

Thanks. That is why I post to have others who see things that I may have missed.

Well seen. What I like best is that you chose to stand camera right of center. That makes the composition asymmetrical. I think that adds interest. The obvious choice would have been straight on with absolute symmetry.Both approaches would work; but I prefer the asymmetrical.

Thanks Erich for your thoughts. I suspect it was the repeating patterns that caught my eye. It all lined up so perfectly for me.

love the potential here, all the way from adding in a special mysterious person to perhaps B/W treatment and getting fog and beams of light running through it. Anyway a very special place nicely handled - I wish this was in MY inventory!

Thanks for your thoughts. I see what you are talking about. Particularly the light beams. I have done that on other photos. I just may have to try that on this one.
