Nothing quite like walking in a grove of aspens.

Wow totally cool. Finding a pattern of trunks and branches that structured is not easy. You might want to consider saturating/darkening the blues a little to make them contrast a little more with the leaves.

Great composition Ron.

The intricate network of curving branches and leaf-filled center make this a fantastic image.

Beautifully done, Ron.
The flow of the trunks plus the gauzy effect of the leaves make this very dynamic, drawing my eyes deeper into the photo.

Love the symmetry of your composition and how the eye is drawn toward the centered, leaf filled canopy. Outstanding.

You've found what I can't yet seem to find which is a group of trees converging quite nicely into a cluster of color. When I look up there always a big gaping hole. Anyhow, this image is great and don't have much to add. I do like Mat's suggestion to work with the blues to add more contrast.

This looks like one of those rare locations where all the elements come together in perfect harmony. Well seen and photographed Ron.

Ron,
Indeed. Great take on an oft photographed scene. Usually we see looking up an opening of clear blue sky, but here I kinda like how all the aspens are converging in to one mass of color. Well done, I like this quite a bit.

Quite a stunning display of gold there. A nice arrangement of converging verticals too.

Very nice. Not sure why, but this feels like a highly energetic neural synapse.

THe colors, trunks, and leaves in the top center are all superb. Another aspect that I like is the small thinner under branches and how they twist and bend. Excellent!

The converging trees definitely give this a unique edge. Beautiful shot!

As others have mentioned, the fact that the middle is full of leaves makes this very intersting. Also, the branches give a sense of movement that makes the overall image feel like a kaleidoscope.

Awesome Ron, been trying to find a scene like this myself for years and have yet to capture one I really liked. This is fantastic.
