While walking part of the Dead Lake Trail with a view looking to the west in Great Basin National Park. My thought on composing this image was to use a portion of the trail leading off into the Aspen and evergreen forest as a leading line with the focus of the image being the tall trees seemingly all around. I felt that feeling was best captured by not angling my Nikon at SLR camera upward and include the tree crowns, but rather focusing on the look ahead and having the trees stretch beyond the upper portion of the image. I later worked with control points in DxO PhotoLab 5 and then made some adjustments to bring out the contrast, saturation and brightness I wanted for the final image.
I found these multi-layer clouds captivating, particularly the gossamer line across the sky beneath the other clouds.
I think the S23U does a good job of capturing this type of shot.
