Gates Pass part II

[vipgraphx]

I went out today and was able to get some more pictures of the Az desert. To bad there was no clouds in the sky once again..

I bumped up saturation in photomatix a little bit to bring out the warm colors and in photoshop I did a little masking in the sky to remove some halo. Added in a filter in nik called pro contrast to bring back the depth from the flatness of photomatix.
