Pulled In, The Wave

In the morning at the Wave the lighting is magical. With a limited number of areas to take advantage of this beautiful light capturing a unique photograph can be quite challenging. This particular portion of the Wave has been photographed a fair number of times I would imagine, but I decided to put my camera at ground level to take advantage of an upward perspective looking into the golden light bouncing through this portion of the Wave. In addition I decided to experiment aligning my frame to the great lines running through the sandstone and adding a slight zoom effect during the exposure. I’m not sure how well it works for others, but I like it far more than the straight shot that I also took from this perspective. If you have a take on how well this effect works with this composition I’d be curious to hear your thoughts.
