My Image Your View: EASTERN SIERRA COUNTRY
Apr 11, 2022 02:17:13 #
Last week, we drove out to Lone Pine CA to visit the old Cerro Gordo mining town, now a ghost town. After that we were going to hike up to the Cottonwood Lakes. The Cottonwood Lakes are near Mt. Langley, which is the mountain in the painting, Mount Corcoran by Albert Bierstadt, but the access roads to the trailhead were closed for the winter season. So no hiking, but on the way up we found this little country road, with a beautiful background scene, running thru some of the small ranches in the area. It's a SOOC image, intentionally overexposed, with only some of the sensor spots cleaned up, but it needs a little more TLC to bring out its potential. Hope you enjoy the image.

Mike, you inspired me to open my editor for the first time in forever 
Just a curves adjustment, then Topaz Studio 2 expressionism effect (60%) and crop.

My take with slight cropping and removing distractions, plus color adjustments.
