Red Rock Country

Capitol Reef N.P.

When I took this I was taken with the sunlight on the near rocks
against the shadowed rock face in the background.

The image was flat and lifeless until I spent the better part of
an hour touching it up.
Warmed the rocks
Cooled the sky
Increased contrast (curves) and saturation.

Now it almost does justice to the original scene :)

The rock formations appear almost 3D to me. I want to reach into the photograph and touch that nearest rock formation. Good job editing!
