Mosca Pass in the San Isabel National Forest (Great Sand Dunes National Park & Preserve)

            While hiking the Mosca Pass Trail in Great Sand Dunes National Park & Preserve with a view looking to the east into the San Isabel National Forest where Mosca Pass was directly ahead. My location was at the boundary in the national park. My idea in composing this image was to angle my Nikon SLR camera slightly upward and capture a more sweeping view across the mountain grasses and have Mosca Pass with the treeline slightly above center. A little portion of the blue skies would be included as a complement to the more earth tone colors in the lower of the image. I later worked with control points in DxO PhotoLab 3 and then made some adjustments to bring out the contrast, saturation and brightness I wanted for the final image.
