David, High standard every post!
Thank you for the comments and compliments. I think I will try to print the arch a little darker and bring out more detail in the rocks below and compare. I have been calling this picture "Elephant Rock" but I think it is just named Archrock in Joshua Tree.
It's true that the desert light is harsh but I also believe that within our technique we can achieve better tones. It's interesting to see different views on the image and even a different way to print it. I feel like I was in a classroom again, Mr. Lee's photo 101! :D

I particularily like the horizontal. The ocatillo (sp?) on the right is a stronger element compositionally than in the vert image. I also like the way the cactus shoots out of the frame on the top and right -- it gives a better sense of presence of the cactus in the landscape...not contained within any frame.
The band of sunlit rocks in the middle become a form of their own in the horizontal image, where they almost become clutter in the vertical. As their own form, those rocks can now work well with the form of the mountain.
Dramatic light!
