Nice Michael, maybe a bit too much on the pink?? Just asking, just a nit.

I like the FG a lot, but the pink looks way oversaturated on my admittedly uncalibrated work monitor.

Hard to judge the colors, I am from CO and sometimes its got craaaazy, I would crop top of the image/sky and add more to the bottom of aspens, half of them coming up from nowhere........ GREAT MOMENT , thank you for sharing :wavey:

Verdon,

Excellent suggestion on the cropping, but I didn't have a sky crane to make that possible. :)

Michael you don't need a sky crane you just have to tilted your camera down and maybe think twice when you composing the shot before pushing the trigger,no heavy duty machinery needed....😳

Verdon,

I wasn't trying to be mean. I was just joking. The fact is, if you tilt the camera down, there was a lot of unnecessary brush and subject matter below frame. A lot of time when people end a composition at a particular place, it's for a reason. If you'd been standing there getting the shot, you'd know that, a frequent problem with critiques here ("It would have been so much better if you'd put that cliff on the left...") :)
