Aspen in Horseshoe Meadows
Shot was taken @ 10am f4.5, 1/125sec,ISO 100 w/ 32mm. I was just blown away by the colors. Any suggestions on improvement?

These colors are phenomenal. Any chance of brightening up the shadows toward the bottom?

I agree brightening the shadows would be a plus, also the sky could use some brightening as well. Looks like a very healthy stand of aspen.

Generally when showing most of the tree, the viewer wants to see the tops. In this case, I'd prefer to see the whole tree with a bit of sky above.

Good points everyone...I'll work on the shadows, and see what I can do. The comment about the top of the tree makes sense. I cropped the image to eliminate some vignetting at the corners of the image, and ended up taking too much off "the top". I'll repost later today. Thanks for the feedback. J
