Golden Spectrum

Had some nice color in the Tetons last weekend, I'd say around 70-80% color change with some areas just past peak. Lots of smoke so I decided to focus on foliage and wildlife. Thanks for looking and, as always, your thoughts are much appreciated.

If this is only 70-80%, you'd better bring your glacier glasses for your next visit. Beautiful color and a very nice comp on this. Don't really like the damage to the 2 left trees but that's a minor nit. Nicely done, Zack.

Very nice, Zack. The color almost seems noise-like. The trunks do a great job of creating order.

Love this. Awesome light and color. Could possibly deepen the black point slightly, but I really like this as is. Awesome print time!

A beauty Zack. Wonderful coloration, and excellent composition. There are bits of the image that appear a little "busy" but, overall, I like this a lot.

Lots of yellow in there! I love how the leaves seem to wrap all around the aspens.

Wonderful sunburst of yellow Zack. The placement of the tree trunks works well too.

Zack, I was there for 8 days (and some other areas) after you. The rains, weather, and winds FINALLY cleared the smoke after several days.

I like your controlling of the light / dynamic range and the composition.
