The story behind the image

The other day I shared an image showing the rock formation ‘Garden Eden’ at the Arches National Park near Moab, Utah.

Today I’d like to present the closer crop of that image. This is something I rarely do, because it really duplicates the content. The same location at a different time is okay, but the very same image just cropped differently? Ho-hum.

However, in this case I was totally undecided which image is better. I like them both. The wider angle has a more dramatic look while the closer crop (above) puts the focus on and reveals more of the features of the rock formation.

Well, well. I really like them both.
