I captured this image at Mountain Point in Ketchikan, Alaska, during a calm afternoon. The movement of clouds toward the distant mountains caught my attention, and I wanted to emphasize that natural flow. Using a long exposure, I allowed the clouds to streak across the sky, drawing the viewer's eye toward the rugged peaks on the horizon.
In post-processing, I focused on dodging and burning, along with some masking, to enhance the depth and drama of the scene, bringing out the textures in the rocks and the soft glow in the sky.
