Default Parting Shots

Okay gang, I am heading back to Dubai tomorrow, so will be deprived from seeing your wonderful work as my internet provider blocks most picture sharing sites. Until I can participate again, I'd like to leave y'all with some exploratory work on arches. Let me know what you think.

Outstanding! I love your handling of arches. I particularly like the first one with the irregular reflections in the water and the (I assume) water feature spigots in the water leading the eye to the arches.

Thank you. Appreicate your comments. The water does create a neat effect.

Thats looks like an awesome place to visit. The 2nd shot is my favorite. I really like the way the shadows make it look.

I love the angle of the shots, the repeating lines and the colour. Excellent.
Hope all goes well in Dubai and that you will be back on line soon.

Great shots, all. Your exploration work on arches paid off! I'm sorry we'll be deprived of seeing your work while you're in Dubai. Take care and we're looking forward to your next post when you can.

Vakeel, these are Marvelous. I really like the patterns in the multiple arches.
