I'd Rather Have a Time Out for Behavior in Yosemite National Park

            A setting looking to the east while taking in views across a grassy meadow in Yosemite Valley leading up to a more distant forest and then peaks and ridges of the Sierra Nevada mountains including the easily recognized Half Dome. My thinking in composing this image was to angle my Nikon SLR camera slightly downward, bringing out a more sweeping view across the meadow. That in turn would bring Half Dome a little higher in the image, making it more prominent. 

I did some initial post-processing work making adjustments to contrast, brightness and saturation in DxO PhotoLab 5. I then exported a TIFF image to Nik Color Efex Pro 4 where I added a Polarization, Foliage, and Pro Contrast filter for that last effect on the image captured.
