A winding path through an Aspen grove in the Teton backcountry, taken this past Autumn. Although I had to compress this one quite a bit, please view the LARGER version for best detail.

The color and composition are outstanding. The foot path is very inviting to the eye and the bg color is also nice. Very good job.!! :wavey:

Love the explosion of yellow here Zack. The foot path leads the viewer into some beautiful light and color. I like your placement of the foreground trees as well.

The balance of 1 and 2 main trees on opposite sides of the trail works well. Maybe make a sliver of a crop to eliminate the tiny touch of sky along the top edge?

It's certainly a path I would like to follow Zack, beautiful golden hues. Very inviting.

Superb Zack. This is visual poetry. I might consider boosting contrast just a bit.

Hi Zack,
I really like this image. It is very evocative, making me want to hike along that path. I would be tempted to clone out the dead tree at the end of the path. To me, it makes the image seem slightly less inviting and warm. That is a very minor consideration. It is a wonderful image!

Congrats on the WP here, Zack. This is a very inviting scene that many outdoor types can surely relate to. :cool:

Great coloring and use of your natural surroundings. I like the use of the lines from the trail and how it just trickles off. Great job
