Against Charcoal
While up with the hoards of folks enjoying the aspens up Guanella Pass Rd, I couldn't resist composing this image. Certainly received my fair share of strange looks. Apparently, most folks thought the trees offered better images. :smile:

Nice comp Ken, I like it!

So do I! The burnt wood provides a real fine color and physical contrast with the leaf. Well done, Ken!

I agree, the charred wood provides a great background.

We probably passed each other on Guanella Pass Road.
I can't make up my mind if Guanella or Kenosha had the bigger crowd.

Yellow on black, nice contrast. Nice work Ken.

I like it! The contrast is lovely, and great detail too.

Nice, bold contrast. With our recent forest fires, this image seems likely. I kind of wish to see the end of the leaf petiole included.
