Just a "xenos" (I'm Greek and that means foreigner) from the PNW group. I frequently lurk here as I just love the Rockies and the Southwest so much, and I greatly enjoy images posted here.
I like the comp and the colors. Only nit I have is the front tree in the center blends in with one behind it. I would have moved slightly one direction or the other. I know this is REAL hard when shooting groves of aspen, I just always try to get the closest trees to stand out by themselves (even though other trees are behind them, just to not blend in). Again, this is a real nit and very hard to do.
On a side note. I like the unique way you've organized your website.

You've been posting some nice fall photos lately. Judging by your Web site you've covered a lot of ground too, some great photos from all sorts of locations. My only suggestion with this photo would be a tighter crop that moves the trees in the center to one side or the other. The two trees Kosta refers are going right down the middle and there might be more visual interest if they didn't seem to divide the photo in half.

Thanks Joshua for the cc and nice comments, especially coming from someone who produces some excellent photos like you do. Yeah, I'm in the military so I have many opportunities to travel across the country back and forth so I always make a photography road trip from one location to the next.

Like the comp and color, but it looks like the contrast is a little high to me. Looks like grays dive to black awfully quickly to me.
