Exploring as a Way to See the World (Big Bend National Park)

            While walking around the Chisos Mountains Lodge area before heading out for a hike along The Window Trail. The view is looking to the East with Casa Grande more of less centered in the image. My thinking in composing this image was to have a balanced one between the earth-tones in the lower portion of the image with the blue skies and clouds above. I later worked with control points in DxO PhotoLab 5 and then made some adjustments to bring out the contrast, saturation and brightness I wanted for the final image.
