single photos Aspen grove near the famous Maroon Bells, Aspen, CO

The problem with nature photography is that it is so hard. In nature, everything harmonizes and all the elements seem to "belong". So, one wants to capture that but on a picture it gets taken out of context, so to speak. From the title i gather i'm supposed to focus most of all on the aspen but my eye is being drawn to those magnificent mountains and i'm having to make a real effort to go back to the aspens then. Also, this is a very small image and that makes it more difficult to view properly, too. To make a long story short, i guess i would have preferred those mountains just framed by the dark shapes of the forest/lower mountains and eliminate the aspen.

Excellent shot. I've been there and it looks just like this. Good work.
