 I've been going to Wellfleet on the Outer Cape quite a bit this summer for chamber music concerts and other meetings. This day it was still light when I drove home, and a lovely summer evening sky and light at that. I noticed this spot with the trees framing the view and, even better, a place to pull off the road shortly after. I took bracketed images, but was pleased to be able to get this result by processing a single image.

I started out with a slightly darker version. Then I made a lighter one. In the end after viewing them again on my monitor and on both of Robert's Bear_music's monitors, I split the difference!

Thanks for the comments.

This is a lovely landscape shot and I like the clouds and lighting. However, I didn't feel that the there was a strong enough central subject to be defined by the natural framing.
