Castle Rock and Other Peaks of Bonanza Massif (Black & White, North Cascades National Park Service Complex) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A conversion to black & white using Capture NX2 where I used some color filters to bring out a much richer tonal contrast for the final image.

My Vacation Escapes in Monument Valley by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: At a roadside pullout along U.S. Highway 163 with a view looking to the southwest to mesa formations off in the distance in Monument Valley. My thought on composing this was to use the road as a leading line into the image. I then worked to align myself to center the road as well as capturing a look down and then across for the setting. The PeakVisor app on my iPhone identified Rock Door Mesa.

Hiking the Distance by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: While walking the Osha Trail in Lincoln National Forest with a view looking to the west. I decided to use the hiking trail leading into the forest as a leading line into the image. The view of this captured image is a turned around one from where I had just hiked along the mountainside in this part of the national forest.
