Aspen Gold

This image was taken in an aspen grove in the San Juan mountains near Telluride, Colorado last fall. I put the camera on the ground and tilted it upwards for this view.

Well.

 

Now that this is loaded I don't see any reason to load any of my autumn shots, which would pale in comparison.

 

Terrific use of the lens here, and a very novel way of showing the two extremes of treehood, from fallen leaves on the ground to sky scrapers up in the canopy. Beautiful color and design.

Curtis, did you screw on an adapter lens to the front of your Nikon? If so, which one gave you this much of a wide angle? Or did you do this in Photoshop? Just curious. I like the creativity of this image. The dark corner doesn't really bother me much, but after moving up to the convergence point at the top, my eye does keep coming down and stopping at the gnarled brown patch on the bottom of the central tree trunk. Otherwise the composition is really interesting.

Nice image. I live in the San Luis Valley and appreciate another view of the trees here. I'd have liked to have seen some of the detail in the foreground leaves. Is that a function of the filter used?

I don't think the hip-hop, beat-down style works with this subject matter. Little too radical for my taste. Here's to you for trying something new, though.

Very interesting approach! Super color and great detail. Nice to see something original in fall foliage shots. Great.
