Getting Nature Educated (Grand Canyon National Park)

            A first image captured with a zoomed in view looking across some eroded formations present in the Grand Canyon landscape. The view is looking to the northeast as I was walking along the Rim Trail to Mather Point one October morning. My thinking in composing this image was to use the "outline” of a trail present across the high points leading off into the distance. While many people, rightly so, attempt to capture that wide angle, vista-like image of the Grand Canyon, here I wanted to focus on just one area and let the eye slowly work its way through the formations present. 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.
