Letting Nature Pamper Me with Snapshots of Chaco Culture National Historical Park

            While walking around and exploring the Pueblo del Arroyo with a view looking to the northwest across the various plant-life present in the Chaco Wash. In composing this image, I had a number of thoughts. One was to capture and bring out the vibrant colors present in the plant-life in this creek area. I then saw layers present with the nearby plant-life, and then the mesas going off to the horizon. The last thing, but also part of the layers, was the blue skies above with the clouds present. I liked how one led to the other, and how the blue skies acted as a color contrast to complement the earth-tones in the lower portion of the image. I angled my Nikon SLR camera slightly downward to create more of a sweeping view across this landscape. 

I did some initial post-processing work making adjustments to contrast, brightness and saturation while playing around as I learned how to work with DxO PhotoLab 7. I then exported a TIFF image to Nik Color Efex Pro 4 where I added a Polarization, Foliage, and Skylight filter for that last effect on the image captured.
