Double Arch

[AlanLichty]

This is the area around a feature named Double Arch at Arches NP. I originally processed this as a color image but as I played around with the skies I decided that B&W actually made for a far more dramatic scene since there was a really nice spring storm cell lurking behind the rock formations and skies are much easier to work with once you dispense with the colors.

Good texture, forms and dramatic sky.

Very good choice Alan. I think that sky with the cloud placement works really well as a B&W.

There's nothing like a good B&W image to relax the eyes.

Excellent!! Really fine tones and contrasts.

Nicely done. I also like the dark plants leading into the center.

Love it Alan. I also like your "dispense with the colors" approach! Well done!

Nicely done, Allan! I think that there are a large number of pics that actually benefit from conversion to black and white - the challenge is to make the right choices. You have here! Love the dynamic sky over the rocks.
