Hey very nice! Love ths spot. I have a shot from here posted. Nice work Mr. Dawson!

Beautiful lighting!!! It doesn’t get much better than that!

Your images are purely divine; I’m convinced the good Lord is whispering in your ear, “Look there,” and then provides that other-worldly, higher realm, kind of light so characteristic of your photos. I’m running out of ways to express my sense of awe. You need to publish a book; it would be a prayer.

Ok, this is just jaw dropping gorgeous!!!

It took me 3 minutes to scroll down to this box there are so many comments!..LOL This is the prettiest site I’ve seen in a long long time! Of all the Arches in Arches National Park, I enjoyed Canyonlands ten times more..and it was an accident finding it.. ; ))

Great image, Dawson, beautifully lit!

I thought I had commented on this but guess not. I know I have looked at it many times. While I like what I got there I think I will plan a trip this winter.

Awesome! I’ve seen many images of this arch, but this is definitely one of the best!

It is brilliant Mike and so very beautiful!!

The red under the rock reminds me of melting steel. Great composition to give us a sneek peak of the morning sky and canyon. Excellent work.

Stunning is to light a word for such an amazing image. You have inspired me to go back to the US and visit Moab. THANK YOU for sharing.

Everything is perfect here, lighting, composition, angle… Excellent work!

Well balanced colours with a pinch of mountain air !

Great capture the detail in the rock is exelent.

Beautifull colours
