The Watchman Classic Sunset Shot at Zion

Normally I prefer backcountry, hike to get to only photography. But as I entered Zion National Park around sunset and noticed 15 other photographers standing at the famous bridge I couldn't resist the timing. Also, spring was reaching its apex, and the cottonwood trees along the Virgin River (the same river that carved the Narrows slot canyon) were bearing perfect bright green new foliage. Add a little alpenglow and it was impossible to resist joining the photographers for a time.
