Way to go here! What an exceptional shot you have made here. The blending looks seamless between the arch and the sky. Did you use some light painting to get the arch lit up?
Beautiful, Harsha. Besides the well done combo of the milky way and rock and the colors/textures, the Botero-like effect to emphasize the bulging roundness of the arch formation really sets off this image.

I also admire the image and would like to know more about how you created it.
As others have noted I like the very diffuse lighting on the arch rock is appealing. Is that a very long exposure of a darker night? Then it would make sense that the sky is a different exposure as the Milky Way is normally in the South, but here the view is directly West.

Really beautiful Harsh. Solid and clean. I especially like the bright star (planet?) on the right part of the sky. Despite being small it helps balance the image out. Great work.
Great shot Harsha. Wonderful use of foreground. It looks like you took the first shot at dusk/sunset which gives it wonderful light. If you painted the light, you are ready to start your ultra advanced night photography tours. Well, either way you are ready!!!
very nice blog!
