Guadalupe Mountains High in West Texas (Guadalupe Mountains National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: While at the El Capitan Viewpoint with a view looking to the north and namesake peak with ridges going to the image right with Guadalupe Peak. This just outside the national park boundaries. My thought on composing this image was to take advantage of the mountainside leading up to the El Capitan peak but then also include some of the other ridges and nearby peaks to add interest and almost a backdrop, if you will, for the image. Later on I did some post-production work in DxO PhotoLab 6 and cropped a portion of the foreground as it was really just highway construction and also cropped a little bit of the upper portion with the skies, so that it would have more of a wider angle, panoramic feel.
