Sunset at the Black Hills Overlook, and while the sky was looking good, the sun was hiding behind the thunderheads, leaving the ground looking a bit flat. I liked the composition, which has more yucca than the usual single that I put in my foregrounds. To open up the shadows, I did some selective dodging on the yucca. The result isn't perfect, and certainly isn't realistic, but it provides an eyeline from fore to aft, and ground to sky. Plus we get two middle ground elements: the yucca group and the rugged ridge away yonder.
