I got this image last fall in the San Juan Mountains
of Colorado. I appreciate hearing from you on corrections
or how to improve the image. Thank you.

Very colorful and well composed.
My only nit, and a minor and personal one, is a little more space above and below. I made the same comment on the photos after yours. Maybe I got up on the wrong side of bed this morning, eh?
It just seems a bit 'cramped' with such spacious surroundings...
Good work.

This is a classic Colorado fall colors shot, wish I had one in my files. I wouldn't change a thing, there's a nice balance between the fence (getting smaller left to right) and the mountains (getting bigger left to right) that lets the aspens show off without dominating. The converging lines of the fence adds some nice depth.

Wonderful fall scene, Robert! As Mark mentioned, I like the way the line of the aspens contrasts with the line of the mountains. The fence adds a lot of character and forms a nice bottom frame for the image. The yellow leaves of the aspens almost have a painterly look to them and they contrast so nicely with the snow covered mountains in the background. Great shot!

Very interesting image. I like the way the elements are stacked. I also like the light. This might also look good with a bit more of a darker brooding look. It has a nice, gritty quality as well.
