If I Follow This Road, I Will Find Myself in the Mountains
From an overlook point along the Discovery Trail with a view looking to the southwest and more distant Sierra Nevada mountains. My thinking in composing this image was to use the down slope and then opened up mountain plane with groupings of Ancient Bristlecone Pines. The road would then be a leading line into the image with the Sierra Nevada mountains as a far off destination. The blue skies and mountains would then be that color contrast to complement the image with earth-tones present in the lower portion. I later worked with control points (line and circular) in DxO PhotoLab 5 and then made some adjustments to bring out the contrast, saturation and brightness I wanted for the final image.
