Blue Skies Under the Light of a Late Morning Sun (Blue Ridge Parkway)

            While at Humpback Rocks Visitors Center along the Blue Ridge Parkway with a view looking up and to the west at trees that seemingly came together above me. The rest was closing down a little on the aperture, so that I could bring out something of a starburst look, but also use the trees to dim the brightness of the sun as it shined above. I definitely didn't want to blow any highlights, but I also wanted to be able to pull out some of the colors present in shadows, especially with the tree trunks and underside of the leaves.
