This is the boardwalk that winds its way through the aspens in Ashcroft, the ghost town near Aspen, Colorado. I used a technique from Mark Johnson's Photoshop Workbench at Radient Vista. BTW congrats to all the September finalists and eventual winners! The quality of photos posted at BetterPhoto just keeps getting better IMHO.
