End Of Day - Delicate Arch - Arches National Park

When visiting familiar locations, do you challenge yourself to find new angles? In my new blog PATIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY - NEVER SAY NEVER I tell the story of the creation of this image at Arches NP's Delicate Arch. I've been trying to capture this angle and sunstar for three years, but was limited by my camera sensor's lack of dynamic range. I finally got what I was after this week! This is one frame with no grads or blends. NOTE: Due to the extreme wide-angle of this image (16mm), there is a bit of perspective distortion. I corrected this in Lightroom, but for some reason, the image lost its impact for me; thus, I processed the image as captured - my choice. Hope you are all having a fantastic weekend!
