I took this photo during the golden hour, of the sunrise. The sun lit up the underside of the arch, and I saw the warm glow, surrounding the spires. The composition presented itself, to my delight.Equipment
A Nikon D3200, with a Tokina 11-16mm, f 2.8mm wide angle. Handheld shotInspiration
I wanted to capture a different view of an otherwise 'overshot' view. I found this composition intriguing.Editing
Tone mapped this in Nik software, increased to contrast, to bring out the texture, and dodged the sky to decrease the 'un-natural' blueness tone mapping createdIn my camera bag

Walk around and look at what you are trying to photograph from different angles. Kneel down, and be flexible. I lost my opportunity to capture the shot I really went to get, due to the large crowds, but with patience, I made something I loved. Don't be surprised by crowds
