Denali Has a Reputation for Wondrous Views (Denali National Park & Preserve)

A view at Polychrome Overlook looking across a...very large glacial valley to the southeast and distant snowcapped peaks of the Alaska Range. Using the highpoint overlook I had and wanting to minimize the more negative space in the hazy skies above, I angled my Nikon SLR camera slightly downward to bring out more of the sweeping view of this valley that by map estimates was well over 5 miles. The mountain peaks would then tower above in the upper part of the image, creating even more of a sense of scale to this national park setting. 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.
