History
We visited Mesa Verde National Park in Colorado and were awed by the cliff dwellings. It’s amazing what they built by hand so long ago. I was hiking around the corner and this view down to the cliff dwellings appeared.
Post processing notes:
I used ON1 Photo RAW 2026.4 to edit this photo. My goal was to show the cliff dwellings with their natural stone colors. I had to use graduated filters and depth lighting tools to cut down on the sun’s glare on the rocks. I also had to use depth lighting to bring out the details of the dwellings.Exif information:
