Some Have an Arrogant Loneliness (Denali National Park & Preserve)

Some Have an Arrogant Loneliness

Caught up in whatever ailment or emotions strikes

All they have to do is look around

For the trees and mountains are friends

And provide entertainment and comfort for the lonely.

 

Another work of short poetry or prose to complement the image captured one late afternoon in Denali National Park & Preserve while enjoying sights on the bus ride out to North Face Lodge. With this image, I pulled back on the focal length to capture more of the grandeur present as I looked across this glacial valley and then to some distance ridgelines and snow packed mountains. While I was on a bus at a few second stop, my thinking with this image was to let the viewer of this image seemingly stand in wide eye amazement; hence pulling back on the focal length.

 

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 3 that I’d recently purchased after moving away from Capture NX2. I finally cropped a portion of the hazy skies above as I felt the negative space didn’t add to the image and it also added to a more panoramic setting.
