Wounded Trunk

I was photographing this morning at Elbow River Canyon, a spot about a mile below Elbow Falls in kananaskis Country, W. of Calgary. While my labrador retriever did his best to empty the fast flowing river, I was photographing the incredibly coloured rocks. On the way back to the car, this wounded Aspen caught my attention. Shooting with my 300 mm. lens and shooting six images which I subsequently blended with Helicon Focus
and adjusted the brightness with multiple adjustment curve layers in Photoshop.
