Sunset on the Flats - a photo on Flickriver

            The Badwater Salt Flats in Death Valley at sunset.  A 4x GND filter was used on this shot.

The variance of light and darkness proves to be an exceptionally hard spot to shoot and edit. I edited three images manually to achieve this image. 

The Badwater Salt Flats are located on the south end of Death Valley National Park.
