Timeworn Topography

A rugged Badlands landscape features a prominent rock formation layered with sedimentary rock.  I took this shot while driving through the Badlands National Park in South Dakota.  (My wife was actually doing the driving.)

When processing this image, I spent a good deal of time experimenting with replacing the sky.  The sky you see is the sky that was present at the time of this photo.  I think it looks pretty lackluster and wondered if I could get a more dramatic look.  Everything I tried just didn’t seem to fit so I left it au natural.
