Aspens, Lee Vining Creek Canyon, California
This is an image from three years ago in
the Eastern Sierra during autumn. I applied
a Gaussian Blur. Your comments are most welcome.

Nice fall flashback Robert. The cold white balance enhances the feeling of the cold autumn morning.

Stop... It too early to start wishing for Fall already. Its not even offcially Summer yet! :biggrin: :wink:

Just kidding. Nice image with the aspens and the water flow. Very pleasing composition.

I am looking forward to doing some Fall color exploration this year on the Eastern Sierra side.

HI Robert

At first I didn't like the soft blur look but it's growing on me each time I view your image. Seems a tad dark in the URC and I'd a like to see a little more space above the tallest aspen. Minor nits to be sure. Nice image.

Nice image, Robert. The blur works here to create a very dreamy scene. I like it.

The blur works for me. Nice mixture of colors, shapes and elements. I wonder what this would look like if the blur effect was lessened a little bit near the center? I was wondering if that would help pull the eye through the image even more.
