Peaceful Thoughts While Taking in Views to Saint Mary Lake and Distant Mountains. While at a roadside pullout along the Going-to-the-Sun Road with a view looking to the southwest across a grassy meadow and then to the calm waters of Saint Mary Lake. This is in Glacier National Park. My thought on composing this image was to bring out the layers that I saw to my front. First would be the grassy Meadows with the colorful wildflowers. Then would be Saint Mary Lake with the reflections on the still waters. Finally, there would be the backdrop of the ridges and peaks of the Central Lewis Range, Hudson River Divide with blue skies above. I later worked with control points in DxO PhotoLab 6 and then made some adjustments to bring out the contrast, saturation and brightness I wanted for the final image.
