Challenge: Best of 2011 (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Canon EOS-5D Mark II
Lens: Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L USM
Location: Arches National Park, Moab, Utah
Date: Jul 25, 2011
Aperture: 14.0

Shutter: 1/15
Date Uploaded: Feb 5, 2012

 I think that the sandstone walls have as much to offer at sunrise as the arches themselves. The oranges and reds that are created as the sun peaks over the horizon are amazing to watch. You can literally watch the line of sun moving down the rock faces as the sun rises.

Great color in the red rocks, and very nice sky. Not sure the shadow in the foreground is a plus. I like the dead tree, because it gives perspective.

cool setting, although i feel like the foreground is taking away more than adding from the photo

Nice light....wish the foreground was brighter to let the eye wander throughout the detail of the rocks and plant.
