St. Louis Arch

This pic was taken in 2001 when we visited St. Louis. I was so fascinated by the Arch that I took quite a few pictures of it. This was taken with my old Sony DSC-D70. I took this picture to show how the Arch has a welding seam. It is actually made of steel. I always thought it was concrete. Anyway, the day was overcast which made for a very interesting background. I have a few more pics of the Arch if anyone is interested.

Nice composition, a bit abstract but that's OK. There's no sense of scale but that's OK too. I like the way the frame is filled and sweeping curves of the arch. The seam in the center works. Looks a little flat on my monitor but that's an easy fix with Photoshop.

Beautiful Composition! Your picture perfectly illustrates the dramatic sweep of the arch. You're right, the clouds enhance the shot. This has the potential to be an outstanding picture. It just needs a little post-processing work to correct the levels and contrast. I'm interested in seeing your other shots, either posted here or you can point me to them elsewhere. --Warren
Nice Work. I like the two contrasts in the picture. First I notices the smooth surface of the arch compared to the overhead clouds. Next, I like the contract between the direction of the arch to the direction of the clouds.
