The trees are so stately, and the scene has a serenity about it that is most pleasing. The comp looks especially well balanced to me. I really find this to a comforting, peaceful image. Very well seen!

I agree with Catherine; a simple comp but very well-balanced.

This is a side of NM that is easily overlooked. Ansel Adams took some aspen shots here too. Nicely done. Congrats on the first place finish.

Beautiful composition Ken, and the greens add a delightful crisp and fresh spring/summer feel.
