Nice composition. You have certainly captured the texture well. The sky kind of bothers me. (that's just my opinion.)

Great Image.....nicely composed....I like the way the arc curves from one point to another. IMHO, the sky is too polarized.

Interesting composition and good color. But not only the sky is too dark, possibly as the result of too much polarization, the top left of the image is also too dark, losing details in the rock. Personally, I don't like E100VS; it is too saturdated and the colors too exaggerated. With this film, I would use less or even no polarization at high altitute such as in Utah. A graduated neutral- density filter would help brighten up the top left.

Dear Christian, A great shot and a quite beautiful one at that. I read some of the other comments after carefully looking at your photo. Yeah, it maybe a little too polarized, but I really like the effect. If you meant to do this, then congrates, if not, then I would call it a happy accident. I would be proud to hang this photo on any of my walls. Take care, Jody.

If it is worth doing, is it worth overdoing. Nice shot, however go easy on the polarizer.
