Garden of the Gods sits nestled underneath Pike’s Peak. It’s hard to see it in this shot, but there are some kissing camels, too.
Iconic shot in Colorado Springs.

I cropped in the original to eliminate some of the unnecessary side scenery and upped the contrast. I lightened up a little the dark foreground. I didn’t want it too light to maintain the layering in the photo.

Lovely shots!
Thank you!
A great place to hike. A good, layered photo.
Beautiful place! My wife, grandson and I went there in October. I felt inspired to do a painting of it as well.
Your work is amazing and the Garden of the Gods/Pike’s Peak one is beautiful!
Thank you Vicki. Your photography is amazing too!
Thank you so much. Mutual admiration club! 🙂
