From the Shores of the Rio Grande and the Sierra Ponce Cliffs (Big Bend National Park)

            What I wanted to capture with this image wasn't just a look across the cliff-face of the Sierra Ponce Cliffs. I wanted to include that look with the Rio Grande (which just happened to be to my immediate front). The idea would be to have to look across the border with Mexico and see those cliffs stretching on to the far off horizon in the image. With some cropping of the foreground, I was then able to add a more panoramic look to the final image, creating a wide sweeping view.
