Had to use my old trusty backup Nilon 4500 while Canon 20D in for replacement of sensor.

Don, This is such an amazing photo. The angle you took this from is fantastic. I love it, wish I would of thought of it. I'm sorry I missed this picture while voting.
This is a very odd photo for me. I'm more of a high contrast type of guy but the level of contrast here doesn't really bother me. Nor does the color, which works. Also the detail is good. What I find odd is the photo, for a lack of a better word, is in conflict. There is such a prominent dividing line in this photograph that it makes it a little hard on the eyes at least for me. Maybe if there was some meaning behind that it would work but for me I don't see one. Maybe if you shot at a lower angle you could have shown some separation in the arches?
This is such a beautiful, striking photo! You can just feel the history and age of that architecture. The light from the arches is stunning! This is one of my favorites in this challenge! 10+
