On the Road in the Mountains of Big Bend National Park

A single RAW image I captured from my Nikon SLR camera and then used Aurora HDR to bring out much more vibrant and truer colors to that late afternoon in the Chisos Mountains during a recent stay. By zooming out for a wider angle view and including a view of the road heading off into the distance, I found I was better able to capture that setting of these mountains. The image was now filled with hillsides of the trees and mountain peaks all around. Casa Grande Peak is that amazing backdrop and partially caught in the late afternoon sunlight. I found that the sunlight kind of added texture and nice contrasts with those portions caught in that warm glow and others areas in the shadows.
