While taking in a view outside the visitor center at a sculpture and exhibit in Mesa Verde National Park. The setting is looking to the west with a backdrop of blue skies sunshine. The art display and sculpture is of the Ancestral Puebloan people as one climbed the cliff walls with foot and hand holds to get to their dwellings.
A setting outside the visitor center in Mesa Verde National Park with a view looking up and to the west at a statue and sculpture (Edward J. Fraughton). My thought on composing this image was to have a backdrop with the wisps of clouds in the skies above to highlight the sculpture. I chose to face to the west because the sunlight was more on the sculpture itself with all the reflected light, then directed towards my camera and myself (if I was facing the sun).
The rest was later making adjustments with control points in DxO PhotoLab 7 to bring out the contrast, saturation and brightness I wanted for the final image.
A clip I found from a news article mentioned the statue and sculpture depict an ancestral Puebloan climbing a cliff using hand and toe holds while carrying a bundle of wood for fuel.
