This is nice, Rudi. Color looks good to me. I do find that my eye jumps from the foreground grasses to the bright trees, and then back again. You might consider increasing the contrast in the background just a bit.
I wish I could've made to the East Side this year--maybe next year, as I seem to be getting younger.
Thanks for your comments on my Yosemite images!

Rudy,
I like this one - a bit different and a good eye to compose this one. This is a case where the wind has helped - and hurt things. What I mean is that I like the effect of some of the grasses blowing in the wind, this provides a sense of reality - the wind was blowing! Two things with the stand of aspen though - data compression, and I expect combined with the wind blowing, and much of the detail is lost in the trees for those two reasons. Kinda creates the situation Preston eludes too. Overall though, I still like this Eastern Sierra autumn image quite a lot.
