Took a long trip through Colorado this last weekend, in search of the infamous fall colors. I teamed up with Jared Atencio on his last trip before he takes off for the sunny shores of California. I logged close to 800 miles, saw some beautiful scenery, ran into fellow photographer Tien-Chien and tried to capture a few images along the way. Here are a few of the better images I was able to capture, with a mix of different styles/tastes. I hope you guys enjoy them, and I always appreciate your C&C.

Looks like you had a good trip. Really like #1.
BTW- It appears the jpg compression has really degraded every image but #1.

Great collection, Koveh. 4, 2, 5, 1, 3 is my order of preference.

Looks like you had a great trip Koveh....numbers 1 and 4 are my favorites!!

Darren, yes the first shot is a linked image while the others are uploads. I am done uploading images onto the site and will just post on my blog and link to it from now on. The upload restrictions are ridiculous. I had to drop the jpeg quality and image sizes down so much to get it to allow me to upload that it just makes the images look like crap.

These are great. I really like the last two!
It looks like most of your images are quite a bit smaller than the max posting size of 200kb. When doing "Save for Web," I would click the little arrow above "Optimized" then select "Optimize to File Size" then enter 200 under desired file size.

Def. a fun trip Koveh, and like the variety you posted, but compression seems to be affecting these more than any of your previous posts? Did you do something different in your process? In any case, I'm sure they look crisp and clean on your end and if it's any consolation, they look great on my iphone! Until the next trip...

Nice set--i especially like #4! Compression shouldnt be an issue with these pics, something is not right with your save to web routine---diagnose and ask questions

Maybe a smaller frame around the pics would allow for larger image and possibly more detail? I usually save for web and don't have much issue.
