Backlit aspens really come to life, nice change from the usual shady shots. It doesn't seem as crisp as some of your other recent posts I think?

Beautiful glow and some awesome twisted trunks. I might crop slightly from the left to eliminate the snag, minor nit however.

Very nice backlight on the aspens, and those twisted trunks give this a something extra to make it stand out from other aspen photographs.

Love the lines. And the colours are awesome. The two leading trees really give the shot some personality. They seem to be dancing with each other while the rest of the trees are watching.. Or at least thats the impression I get...

Something just doesn't seem right about the color of the aspen boles.

Here we are cropped, the way I do the prints, and trying to resolve Jody's color issues.

Hi Michael

Amazing backlighting on the aspens. The tree trunks are also superbly done. A real fine presentation
