Ancient Trees along the Bristlecone Loop Trail in Bryce Canyon National Park by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: While walking along the Bristlecone Loop Trail with a view looking to the west to a lone tree. I decided to use the blue skies as that color contrast and backdrop for the tree and earth-tones present. With the sunlight shining, it seemed to better highlight the texture and shades present. It also reminded me of a similar setting I’d come across in the White Mountains of California with their ancient bristlecone pine forest.

The Sun Through Nearby Evergreens and Blue Skies (Bryce Canyon National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: While walking the Bristlecone Loop Trail and a view looking up and to the east in Bryce Canyon National Park. My thinking in composing this image was to close down on the aperture to create more of a starburst look with the sun and also use the tree to help filter some of its brightness. The rest of the image was about the blue skies and this one fading contrail.

Trees Guiding My Path Walked Along the Bristlecone Loop Trail (Bryce Canyon National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A setting looking to the south while taking in views of this bristlecone and evergreen forest along the Bristlecone Loop Trail in Bryce Canyon National Park. My thought on composing this image was to use a portrait orientation to take advantage of the tall trees to my front. The hiking trail would also be a leading line into the image. The blue skies above would be that color contrast to complement the earth-tones in the lower portion of the image and also highlight those tall trees caught in the glow of morning sunlight.
