Excellent view of this scene. Nice to see another angle. Only nit is I think the upper part of the arch above the glow is too bright.
Thank you very much Jeffrey, glad you enjoyed it About the arch, I see you point - I didn't brighten it particularly though, perhaps the snow in the BG reflected some light on it (?).

Very nice Vieri. I like the use of a different angle to get away from the very common viewpoint.

I can only echo the others: it's nice to see a commonly photographed landmark well photographed from a uniquely uncommon perspective. Nicely done.

Thank you John, I am glad that you enjoyed it it's always difficult to get a new perspective on such a photographed subject, and I am glad if I could make it!

Well done! Agree that is is a nice change from the norm. I also don't mind letting the brightest area go to a white/yellow glow. This one could also look great in B&W.
Thank you very much Jim, I am glad you enjoyed it - I tried it in B&W, but I felt so bad in loosing the gorgeous glowing colours...

I'm sure you were jockeying for position here with 20+ other photographers, however personally I've always preferred the compositions here that did *not* include a perfect little sunstar peeking through. I actually think the image is more balanced and timeless when it is just the landscape. Although, I do kinda wish the foreground rocks had been a little less prominent; if they're close enough to be out of focus slightly then they might need to be re-composed out of the scene altogether. Anyways, gorgeous light you captured!
Matthew, thank you for your comment, I am glad you enjoyed it Yes, the place was crowded - not when I got there, there were just about 5 photographers; right before sunrise, though, a busload of tourists arrived, most of whom where very respectful; this one guy, though, started crawling sniper-like on the ground, stopping every few minutes but not taking any pictures, with his two huge cameras (one with a 24-70 the other with a 70-200), until he finally popped into my frame... since there was nowhere to crawl further, he started taking pictures, I let him take some and then politely asked him to get out of my frame, which he did Surreal, but there you go... About your composition suggestion, I see your point but I think that the darker, slightly OOF rocks help the eye to circulate in the frame: enter low right, follow the inner side of the arch and with a spiral movement end on the candlestick tower, following a sort of "golden section" spiral movement That's, at least, how I saw it, YMMV of course.
Best,
Vieri
