Less is more II

Rocky Mountain National Park
Photograph by Tom Atwood
Sometimes less is more: in this case, less contrast, less color and even less clarity. The early morning low clouds take care of the clarity, leaving the distant mountains a vague and diffuse. The thick atmosphere, compressed even more by using a 200 mm lens, naturally reduces the contrast and color, too (and I did desaturate this photo a bit in processing). The result, hopefully, is a photograph that brings peace to all who view it. Ommmmm. Shutter: 1/60; Aperture: f/5.6; ISO: 400; Focal length: 200 mm.
