About the Image(s)
I took this photo in fall of 2023 while hiking near Crested Butte. The aspen had turned golden, and we enjoyed a beautiful hike. I used my Canon EOS R6 at 40 mm, f/16, 1/60.
In Lightroom, I brought up the shadows, decreased the highlights, adjusted color, and added a slight vignette. As always, I appreciate your comments.

Hi Ruth,
Autumn is my favorite season when trees change their leaves into vibrant colors. In this image, the sunrays highlight the golden colors of the high trees and the lower shrubs in the foreground. The pine trees on the left add a complementary element to the scene. Your post processing to bring back the blue sky is well done.
To me, the golden trees seem to tilt to the right, probably they are on an uneven ground. It's not an issue, so the decision is yours to make to correct it or not. Thanks for sharing your nice shot! Posted: 10/08/2025 13:29:41
