A Sunset Makes for Such a Beautiful Thing (Jasper National Park)

            A Sunset Makes for Such a Beautiful Thing
Daylight had guided our way
But now darkness comes in only a short time
We all get to experienced the closing of a day
And I tried to make the most of today
I definitely look forward to tomorrow
So no matter where I am on this planet Earth
There’s always a book end for the day

Another work of short poetry or prose to complement the image captured one early evening as the sun was setting in Jasper National Park. This was at a roadside pullout along the Maligne Lake Rd with a  view looking to the northwest. My thought on composing this image was to create a layered look with the nearby, hillsides and then more distant mountains of Pyramid Mountain and the Victoria Cross Range. The rest was metering the image to not blow any highlights from the areas caught in sunlight,  while still being able to later pull out the more shadowed areas nearby in post production.

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 6 where I did some final adjustments with contrast, saturation and brightness for the final image.
