Autumn snow on aspen near Kebler Pass, CO

How do you feel about this photo? Is the use of the sun shining

through the tree too much?

WOW what an eye catcher. Great shot nice composition, the sky look very deep!

 

Mike, next time upload a smaller file, please - this image totally choked my modem for minutes. We don't all have DSL yet!

Nice shot. The sun is out of place from the area of the picture to which the eye is naturally drawn, so that's a slight detriment as far as the composition, but... I doubt you wanted to wait in the snow for hours until the sun moved somewhere better, so who can fault that? Overall, it's a very pleasing photo.

did you do anything w the top of the picture? it seems to be bluer and darker. great work.

to amy: server screwed up i think. normally it would automatically create three images of three different sizes.

Thanks for the great responses. A few notes: 1) I got an email over the weekend that there was some trouble with about 250 uploaded images, this being one of them. So, to Amy, I appologize, but that complication was out of my hands. 2) I did use a Signh-Ray warming polarizer on this shot - hence the gradient in the sky.
