Challenge: Landscape II (Basic Editing III)
Camera: Nikon Coolpix 880
Location: Smoky Mountains, North Carolina
Date: Nov 7, 2005
Galleries: Landscape, Nature
Date Uploaded: Nov 7, 2005

 Taken just east of Newfound Gap on the Tennessee / North Carolina border. There weren't a lot of fall colors at this altitude so I thought it best to not saturate what little color there was. It was also heavily overcast. Photoshop adjustments were cropping and lightening to bring out a little detail. Otherwise, it's pretty much as it came from the camera.
