Title: Three Gossips

By: Renata Kleinert

This is from our photo trip to Arches National Park.

I was able to catch this sunset behind the three gossips. I had very little time to set up.

Used my canon 7 D Mark II with my 100-400 lens zoomed in all the way.. F stop 16 and ISO

640. I made a orange frame around it to enhance it. I thought this image told the story

The three gossips look like three anonymous people whispering among themselves. The three

gossips a sandstone formation takes the stage with its peculiar name and is one of the parks

land marks that visitors readily remember.
