A Long and Beautiful Sunset (Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park)

A view looking to the northwest across the canyon and gorge with a setting sun at the Sunset View overlook in Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. Not wanting to blow any highlights from the sunlight, I metered the exposure and shutter speed to that. I chose to work with Aurora HDR Pro to better bring that complete setting in the image. I could make adjustments in the shadowed areas of the canyon and remove any color cast. I later exported a TIFF image to DxO PhotoLab 3 where I did some final adjustments with contrast, saturation and brightness for the final image.
