[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is the Arch in St. Louis, Missouri. I stood up against one of the bases of the arch and shot upwards. I really love this perspective. It makes the arch look smaller than it is.

It was quite bright out that day, as you can see by the sun's reflection. I remember squinting a lot that day.

Let me know what you think about the colors. I am sure they can be improved upon. I get so caught up in the perspective that I am oblivious to how well the colors work.

J'aime la vue que tu as prise, mais au niveau de la correction des couleurs , tout est trop rouge ce qui donne un ton chaud pour le métal mais qui n'est pas beau pour les nuages ...

Very unique perspective. I would have never guessed what it was without the note. I find the colors to be a bit dark. It looks as if it was cloudy and the reflection is from a night post with smoke of fog.

Great perspective, when I first looked at the shot I had not idea it was the arch. Well done.

Wonderfull shot, great composition and colors..especialy the sun's reflection.. Well done !!

Impressive. First, I though it was a plane wing ! Nice colors for the arch and the sky.

I like the angle you used to take this picture, very good perspective also, the colors are very well captured.

Think this is my favourite in your photo's, i lovely the colours & that reflection on the arch! the sky looks great, i think the colours work very well in this shot. I like your frame also, great work Angie!

Very inventive PoV for this shot - I like the almost monochromatic lighting but I might have used the Dodge tool to lessen the impact of the relection slightly - I can see why you were squinting that day!
