Finally did some computer upgrades and started working on my pics from our last trip in 2014. Was tossing this "trash pic", but thought I'd play with it a bit. The range that the X-Trans sensor captures amazes me.

I could've pulled the exit back into range but I like it blown out a little, looks more realistic. Nice salvage and a keeper for me. That's mom and our two kids in front of me
