Sunset over the Buttes, Fort Robinson, November 6, 2004

On one of my first trips hiking in Fort Robinson State Park, I found this shot of one of the buttes at sunset to be a keeper. I have pushed the color contrast a bit beyond reality, but there is a sense of light and shadow I want to convey with this treatment. I'm normally not a fan of the whole orange-teal look. There is some delicate texture in the sandstone of the butte, and I like the tree on the left as a bit of punctuation for the scene.
