Standing Above the Other Rock Formations (Arches National Park)
A view looking to the southeast to the Balanced Rock from around the area of the parking lot. While I normally attempt to avoid these far-off image captures, here I decided to take advantage of the rise in the landscape to my front. With some angling of my SLR camera, I was able to capture that a more sweeping view leading up to the Balanced Rock and other rock formations off in the distance. I was also able to minimize what I felt was the more negative space of the blue skies above and have the reds, greens, and yellows of the landscape all around me fill up as much of the image as possible and minimize any flattening that tend to happen with a wider angle view.
