About the Image(s)
This shot is from a 2008 trip to Glacier National Park. There are no glaciers left, but during the last ice age they gouged and carved mountains like Sinopah on the left.
Canon 30D, 35mm lens, f/5.6, 1/320, ISO 200. Processed in Lightroom: darkening the blues for sky/mountain contrast turned the dark lake black but brushing in some positive exposure revealed texture in the surface, adjusting greens and yellows brought out the trees, and localized clarity and tonal adjustments enhanced the rocks. I go back and forth on cropping out the end of the dock on the right - is it a distraction or does it show that the boat isn't about to hit the beach?
