If I'm not mistaken, this is one of the most photographed arches in any given desert. So I'd think I've seen them all - apparently not. The addition of a person seriously helps, especially by giving you a feeling of scale. The world is, by far, bigger than we are.
Congratulations on top 10! I think we have seen this arch a lot, but this is one of the best shots of it. I love the sun and starburst along with the excited figure on it. The flare is unfortunate, but is difficult to control and doesn't hurt it so much. Unfortunately I didn't even get a chance to look at this challenge during voting.
I recognise this location! I can't work out whether or not the model adds to or detracts from the shot, possibly the latter. Our eyes are drawn instinctively under the arch and I think she is a bit of a distraction. Exposure is perfect.
