Prairie Grasses and Forest in Wind Cave National Park

            With this image I wanted to capture a sweeping view across this landscape of prairie grasses in this view looking to the southwest. I felt angling my Nikon SLR camera slightly downward would create that setting as well as provide a sense of depth with the ridge and hillsides off in the distance. I finished up post-processing work in Capture NX2 by adding a few CEP filters (Low Key, Polarization and Graduated Neutral Density) for the final image.
