"Cryptic"
Last weekend, Jacob Klassen and I made a last-minute decision to visit this canyon to capture some unique light rays. We both had to set up and shoot our compositions quickly as people consistently visited the cave. Initially, I found the chaotic foreground a bit distracting. However, after uploading the files to the computer, I felt that the dead branches added to the image's overall mood and atmosphere. Besides blending a 7 image exposure blend to deal with the harsh light, not much went into this image's post-processing. The light rays and the soft sunburst along the canyon's edge did most of the work for this one. I hope you enjoy it!
