Diablo Lake Nestled in the Heart of the North Cascades (North Cascades National Park Service Complex)

As I walked around the railing for this overlook to Diablo Lake along the North Cascades Scenic Highway, I tried out different angles and views to best visualize this mountain setting, especially with the outcropping to the near front. While I couldn't eliminate the view with the evergreens rising up, I could take advantage of them to complement what amounted to an arrowhead or point. A version of a leading line to draw a person's eye to then look across Diablo Lake and take in the ridges and mountains. For post-processing, I used some CEP filters (Low Key, Polarization and Graduated Neutral Density) which seemed to best bring out the look for this mountain setting.
