The end of the day at the border between Tennessee and North Carolina. A stack of Neutral Density Gradient filters was used to moderate the exposure between the sky and the Smoky Mountains. With that setup the camera really captured the colors. Some additional post processing was used to lift the detail. I love the sharpness in the trees along the ridge to the left.
