Another place to add to my bucket list

The compositions here are ok, borderline good but the subjects are way too underexposed. The horizon on the 3rd is a bit slanted too

The first one would have undoubtedly greatly benefited from a multi bracketed exposure. It looks as if you exposed for the sky and the rocks came out underexposed. If you had exposed for the rocks then the sky would have been washed out. If you have a tripod definitely check out bracketing some of the exposures like this and the other ones you took that day.

Thanks for comments. If you can be there yourself, you will find that the horizon on the 3rd is just what you really see.

Thanks John for your comments. The focus of #1 was at the to of the arch. Yes the picture was somewhat underexposed. As for 2th and 3rd, I expected silhouette effect of the rocks and the tree.

If you can be there yourself, you will find that the horizon on the 3rd is just what you really see.

Well, you have two options.
You can rotate it so it looks flat and remove that niggle from the viewer's mind
or
You can leave the horizon as it actually is - seemingly unlevel - and constantly explain to people that you are right and they are wrong.

That lack of level draws attention away from what you want viewers to concentrate on and seems to serve no purpose.

Don't have comments on the pictures themselves, just saw that you went to Arches and wanted to check out your shots. I drove through Moab on a whim and spent a few hours at Arches. Such a cool place that I heard very little about, just awesome.

Thanks Traveler. We can keep just one opetion, be honest to the "True Face" of the nature.

Thanks niccas9. Yes, there is no photo can tell the real feeling when you be there. That's just awesome!
