I Have Waited for This Day for a Long Time! (Banff National Park)

            One of the many captures with a train of the Canadian Pacific Railway going by this setting of Morant's Curve. While overcast and kind of blah with muted colors that day, I was able to use a Pro Contrast CEP filter and selected color control points to bring out a much more vibrant image with color contrasts in Capture NX2. I was also able to use selected use of control points with a Low Key CEP filter and other contrast adjustments to bring out more details in the low clouds around the mountain peaks on the far side of the image in the Bow Range.
