The View to the West

I shoot this tree every couple of weeks or so. This was made yesterday afternoon and I would normally have moved around the tree and shot toward the NE. I wanted to try and get the light though. That meat there was way too much dynamic range to handle the image without some kind of special technique - at least as far as I know. I used Mr. Contrast on this to try and tame the dynamic range.

This was made at Cherry Creek Reservoir in Aurora, Co.
