Castle Mountian, Alberta

~~The Bow River and Castle Mountain of Alberta Canada~~
The Trans-Canadian Highway offers so many views of the Canadian Rockies it is hard to choose a favorite. This piece of rock rates at the top of my list.

7 commentsAnother nicely captured landscape from the Canadian Rockies. The exposure, color and saturation all look quite natural and pleasing. Sometimes I think we've become so used to image popping color and saturation that we no longer appreciate scenes as they naturally appear like this. But still, I agree with prior comments that this could use just a skosh of punch. I think it can be done without losing the natural look and feel too. Just my thought, but I think a faint Orton application, or the USM trick(high radius, low %) or even a simple s-curve in a Curves layer could pop with a little more contrast. But that of course is just personal choice.
