These arches are by the Pacific Science Center in Seattle WA. I've always been taken with their starkness against a blue sky. I was going to use a polarizing lens on this shot, but had just put it away and was cold. Instead, I used levels to get the effect I was looking for.

I like the lighting on the arches, and the trees help frame the photo, especially the way the two branches in the middle come to a point in the center of the frame. As a drawback to this, the left arch is cropped a bit harshly, but you can't have everything, right? Good depiction of curves
interesting structure, the blue sky is nice also. The trees make it a bit busy for me, but I understand that you can't just cut 'em down to make a picture. :-)
I like the lighting in this photo. I also like the way the trees look like they wrap around the art piece, almost like it is protecting it. Great picture and lots of curves for sure. :)
wow. this is a truly beautiful shot. the color combination is perfect. the hues and shadows and use of branch sihouettes is ingenious. how long did u take to plan this one?
i really like the colors and subject of this photo, but something detracts from the overall effect. it might be the abundance of branches in the frame or maybe the fact that it's just too symmetrical. but overall, i like this composition.
