When I Close My Eye, I Dream About Mountains (Joshua Tree National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: While at Keys View and looking to the west-southwest across a mountain desert landscape with some snow still present from a recently storm. This is in Joshua Tree National Park. My thought on composing this image was to take advantage of the dead, fallen tree and use that to add to the setting in the image captured with the ridges and more distant snowcapped peaks of several mountain ranges in southern California. With the sun behind me, I felt I was able to capture more details, from near to far, including more in the peaks of the San Gorgonio Mountain and San Jacinto Mountains. The rest of the image composition was then a matter of aligning myself to find that angle with the tree, ridges, and mountain peaks. 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.
