The Aspens Of Summer ll

Another shot from last week. I liked the dark mystery of this one.

C&C welcome!

Beautiful image! Love the buttercups it adds so much to the overall image. Warm regards, Leslie

... and powerful... this beautiful contrast between the fine sparks of yellow, the soft foliage and the strong legs of those aspens. Your hand in it really brings out the mystery that lurks in the shadowed areas. Well done, Joseph

This is stunning. I love the soft tones on the aspens, and the deep blacks. They really make the yellow flowers stand out like stars. Really well composed too.

Joseph, excellent composition. I would argue that the buttercups are a bit blown out or overdone. They lack detail. But having said that, I congratulate you on your work. The flowers are like little explosions in my eye. Nice.

Thank you all for your kind words, much appreciated!

Kurt, I agree, they do look a little blown. I didn't add saturation. The flowers actually look better in the non compressed version.
