A Lone Evergreen at Bacon Hollow Overlook (Shenandoah National Park)

            A setting looking to the south while taking in views to a nearby pine tree (evergreen) in the meadow. This location is at Bacon Hollow Overlook in Shenandoah National Park. What I wanted to capture with this image was the lone pine tree, but pull back enough on the focal length to include of the ridges and mountainsides in this part of the Northern Blue Ridge as a backdrop for this national park setting. I also opened up the aperture as I wanted to have mainly the pine tree in focus. I wanted to have that separation of focus, even if only slight, to highlight the lone tree.

I did some initial post-processing work making adjustments to contrast, brightness and saturation in DxO PhotoLab 7. I then exported a TIFF image to Nik Color Efex Pro 7 where I added a Polarization, Foliage, and Pro Contrast filter for that last effect on the image captured.
