A Mountain Backdrop for Natural Bridge (Yoho National Park)

            Over the past several years, I've visited Banff National Park many times on my trips to Canada. But it was Yoho National Park that I first enjoyed and appreciated the beauty of the rivers and mountains in British Columbia. I had a chance a few years prior to visit but wasn't as knowledgeable on photography having just bought an SLR camera. Years later, I was so looking forward to this chance to not only capture images but to soak in these beautiful views that I've recalled from so many years ago. That's the story behind this image of Natural Bridge. The waters of the Kicking Horse River are flowing by with large rocks boulders all around. All around are the towering and sweeping spires of evergreen trees. And then far off in the distance were mountain peaks with blue skies and clouds above. 

I did the initial work with Capture NX2 and then exported a tiff image into Color Efex Pro 4 and used a recipe that I've come up with earlier that did a few things with structure, contrast and tone adjustment. Overall, it brought out a slightly lower exposure feel even though the image was captured in the mid afternoon sunlight.
