Natural Arch, sometimes called Natural Bridge, is in the Numinbah Valley, close to the Queensland - NSW Border.

Over the years cascading water has eroded the roof a rock cave, creating an arch. This photo shows the entrance to the cave on the RHS and the water pouring through the opening that it has created.

Trevor this is an outstanding image. (It almost looks as though you have artificially lit the scene). The colours and composition are wonderful.

Thanks Fraser. Only natural lighting at about 9:30 am last Wednesday.

To be able to show the exteriors and the interior of the cave I have used HDR techniques, and that has given the colours a bit of a boost too.

It actually looks surreal with green tinge on one side, and blue on the waterfall, but for me it works.

Great shot Trevor - I have seen many images of this location over the years and I think yours has really done the place justice in a natural and representation manner.

Thanks everybody.

Just for interest I found this old photograph of the Natural Arch from a similar aspect to mine. It dates back to 1938. Quite a good b&w presentation really.
