Letting Nature Pamper Me with Snapshots of New River Gorge National Park & Preserve

While at a scenic overlook to the New River and namesake national park with a view looking to the southeast. I decided to take advantage of this high point overlook to capture a sweeping view looking across this river gorge and valley. I would use the river floating by as a leading line into the image. The hillsides and ridgelines would also act to channelize the setting. I decided to angle my Nikon SLR camera slightly downward to help also capture that sweeping view and minimize the overcast skies present that morning. I later worked with control points in DxO PhotoLab 4 and then made some adjustments to bring out the contrast, saturation and brightness I wanted for the final image.
