As for critique, well the only very slight annoyance would be the lens flare, which in this situation is very hard to avoid. But if it bothers you you can try to get rid of it in post. The green spot is probably the most noticeable flare but is also the easy one to correct. The bigger one behind the rock, left foreground, however is more difficult to correct but can be left as is. However I have made a feeble attempt to lessen the impact. Not sure if I have succeeded.
Once again a very fine image. Thanks for posting I enjoy looking at it.
Cheers
Nice! I'm going to do the same on my original, don't know how i missed that one really

I honestly don't feel like criticizing it, at all. It's great. I'm a sucker for starbursts so if I had been there with you, I'd have used the DA21 to bet a nicer effect around the Sun, but that's not critique, that's gear.
Wow.
I needed the 10mm in this case, the Sigma 10-20 is not the best in many aspects but that 10mm is such a useful length for landscape. I wish Pentax would make a 10-20 Ltd (something like the 20-40 Ltd. that I use 99% of the time)

Originally posted by wildman More of a speculation than a critique - can't help but wonder if it would benefit from a slight lifting of the shadows.
The Arch in this case starts too look too HDR for my taste if you boost the shadows too much (and this image is already a composite of 3 images to get the needed dynamic range).
