Curves, Shapes and Patterns Under the Double Arch (Arches National Park)

            An image captured where I decided to focus as much as I could on the arches with its shapes, curves and patterns. The blues of the skies above would then come through as kind of a backdrop to complement the reds and browns of the surrounding sandstone. While bright from the daylight, I was able to bring out a more balanced image working with color control points and then using Low Key and Polarization CEP filters in Capture NX2.
