    Looking Up II - B&W

    An unusual angle of a well photographed location. There is a two lane highway that runs across this natural bridge. C&C welcome.

    Sam, in order for this image to work for me, it should be rotated 90 degrees CCW, so we're viewing it in the same orientation as you took it. I think it's a very interesting shot and good conversion but disconcerting to view it as is and just doesn't have the visual impact it can have.

    Wonderful conversion! You've commanded the light to work its magic!

    If the intent is to portray nothing other than realism, I agree with everyone about the orientation. If the intent is to introduce a strong element of abstraction, the current orientation works well for me.

    Mike the second is true, while I also like the horizontal view it is the abstraction of this perspective that appeals to me more.
    Thanks for your complement on the lights.
