Having some time before boarding the plane back home, I'm going through the images from last few days to see what I ended up with after all the stops and goes and hikes up and down Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon. I prefer few days time from taking the pictures to the edit stage so that I can forget about the images. Typically one or two images usually lingers in my mind and rarely do they appear on screen then way I imagined them in my head. The ultimate discipline in the field is to take an image technically correct. The processing part involves making that technical image come to life. And that part is the love and hate of photography. It took me a long time to realize work is needed after the capture. And it still takes some time to remind myself before calling the image a final one.

Here is the first image. I decided to make this one black and white.
