Death Valley: Sunrise ON Zabriskie Point

Just a few moments after I took the image on my previous post the sun popped over the ridge and lit up Zabriskie Point.  The point seemed like it was on fire.  The subtle tonalities were severely washed out.  I had to add a lot of structure in NIK Viveza and tonal contrast in NIK ColorEfex Pro to bring out the contrasts.

Sunrise had just broken on the mountains on the far side of Death Valley.  Zabriskie Point was still in the shadows, but there was enough light to bring out the tonal differences in the ridges and valleys leading down from the point.
