I Am In No Rush To Paradise As I Have Arrived Indeed! (Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park)

            A view looking to the west across the canyon and gorge with blue skies above at the Cedar Point overlook in Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. This was definitely a difficult image to capture as I was looking almost directly at the sun from this view with the canyon below. I not only had to work to minimize any sunlight falling across the lands, but I also had to expose it such that I could void blowing any highlights and still pulling out the more shadowed areas later. I chose to work with Aurora HDR Pro to better bring that complete setting in the image. I later exported a TIFF image to DxO PhotoLab 3 where I did some final adjustments with contrast, saturation and brightness for the final image.
