Prairie Grass and Yellow Mounds (Badlands National Park)

An image idea I noted from another photographer before heading out on this trip to the Dakotas and Badlands National Park. By angling my Nikon SLR camera slightly downward, I felt I could minimize the overcast skies but also capture a more sweeping view across the prairie grasses to the yellow mounds and then badlands formation off in the distance. I later used a Pro Contrast and Skylight CEP filter in Capture NX2 for the final image to address what I felt was the more muted colors from the overcast skies above.
