  Mike, I'm partial to Aspens and everytime I go into the canyons above SLC, I try to capture these trees in a wonderful breathtaking way but I always fall short. This photo is wonderfully done. You have wonderful light on the trees and then you have the additional wow factor of the golden light behind them. Wondful.

  Thank you Janine, Esther, Terri, Sherry, Nadya, Elias, David, Tressie and Jo Ann for your generous comments!

Jo Ann, it is as you stated, all about the quality of the light. I just happened to be at the right place at the right time. I was driving down the road and looking out my side windows at the trees when I noticed this particular grove with very nice light modeling. So I pulled over and walked about 50-75 yards into the the forest until I found the pattern and composition that I was looking for ... and then the lighting did the rest!

  Thanks Alice! It was just outside Aspen, Colorado 15 days ago. The next day it snowed and it was gone. Right place - right time ... :-)

  COOOOOL! How about that! What a wonderful part of the country. It's been a "LOT" of years since I last laid my eyes on those beautiful Rockies...but I lived there for quite a while...9,100 feet above sea level. Breathtaking!!!! :))

  Very nice composition of these beauties! Nicely captured and not over-saturated. Reminds me of the feeling I've had when I'm right in the middle of a stand, on a warm autumn day. Kudos!

  Mike, glad to see you back posting again!
I've always loved the Aspens and their white trunks! They are a graceful tree!
Your capture is truly captivating to the viewer!

  Hi Joannie, Thanks for the comment. Yeah, my postings have crawled to a halt almost. I started a new job in August and it's been "very" busy and taking up a lot of my free time. I've been on a few photo outings, but I'm way behind on working on my photos and posting them. Hopefully I will be getting more of these posted soon.
