Aspen Detail

Uploaded: May 03, 2013

Description

Leaning out my 3rd floor bedroom window while in Brian Head, UT, the low morning light was not yet hitting this aspen tree, but was striking
the red wall behind it. We'd rented the 135 f/2, and I decided to explore the f/2 aperture. I really liked the creaminess of the resulting blur,
and the warm reds/oranges of the sunlit building against the cool tones of the aspen's mostly-shaded bark.

I'd say this is quite a bit better than "really nice", Chris. I love the color, texture, and focus contrasts and combinations. #1526638

What a classy image, Chris. Like others, I love the colors, bokeh, composition and the textures and lines of the branches. Nice work. #10680358
