Skull Rock During a Snow Storm (Joshua Tree National Park)

            While walking around the namesake area in Joshua Tree National Park with a view looking to the southeast. What drew me into the setting was the snow falling and the way it helped create and bring out shades and details across the rock surfaces. My thought on composing the image, though was to minimize those overcast and snowy skies and have the Skull Rock formation fill up most of the image, with a little bit of foreground included to help frame the setting
