ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Death Valley NP, winter 2018. While hiking back to camp from a day on the dunes I came across this reach of rocks and at first set up a mostly ground oriented composition. As I was getting it set the sky formed to mimic the rocks, or was it the other way around? I don't know. I just knew it was time to make the picture. Processing involved a little contrast creation in the land portions and lightening the rocks to better mimic the clouds.
