I Care Not What People Might Say as I Listen to the Trees! (Mammoth Cave National Park)
An image captured while walking the Sinkhole Trail and the many other network of trails to the west of the Visitor Center in Mammoth Cave National Park. There were trees all around and above me making for a wondrous view to walk underneath. I knew that there would be a large dynamic range given the brightness of the overcast skies compared to the more shadowed areas underneath this tree canopy. I did the best I could in finding a good enough shutter speed to capture what was present, knowing that there would probably be no details worth capturing and keeping from the skies above. I did decide though to bring this image into Aurora HDR 2019 so that I could see what I might be able to bring out with a more vibrant and full range of colors. I then exported the TIFF image to Capture NX2 where I was able to do some work with color control points and control points for the final image here.
