Zion National Park

Zion Natinal Park

Was drivign through Zion on my last day - fog, rain - generally bad day all around. I noticed this out of the corner of my eye - stopped and hand held my 3Gs....

Even though I appreciated the composition I never truly liked this image - thought it was soft and just not acceptable. But upon revisiting I realized there were certain aspects of this image that worked for me, and, for lack of a better word, I liked the Goth feel....So I took another shot at post-processing just to see what could happen.

Now with the original side by side I am not sure the original is not the one....Work in progress I guess.

The original is posted below.

I arrived into Chicago today where I am shooting over the next three days. I was looking for something to put in my iPhone blog and came across this image from Zion National Park. Must be from about November 2009 - I did a bit of re-processing mostly with Snapseed (structure) and then oversharpened a bit in Filterstorm...Zion can be an amazing location in the winter - actually I have never been there at any other time...
