Skyline Arch

[ckcarr]

This is my only black and white picture. During a blinding snowstorm up in Arches back before it was always busy. I was the only person in the park, in my Jeep and not a tire track anywhere to be found. (I like to blather about the mood of places when I take a picture because that's what I really remember. Cold, dusk and snowy. Anyway, I thought B&W worked best with the scraggly branches and general monotone atmosphere of dusk in a snowstorm.

Hey Craig,

This is really nice! I think B&W works very well here. And it's nice hearing about the mood of a place.

Yeah, the crowds have really been a turnoff for Arches. I used to go there at least twice a year but now it's probably been 3 years since I was last there.

Really, really different from how it looked for me. The snowy atmo adds a lot to the image! Very nicely done, Craig!

Looking at this photo, I could almost feel the freezing cold. Very good.

I like the image overall, but I feel there is a lack of contrast between the sky and rocks.

Wonderful moody, unique black and white image.
