Thanks for all the great comments. I'm so happy to finally win a ribbon.
The photo was the results of an eight mile hike, which I shot around 150 images of the aspen trees from ground level. No filters were used, the sky is that color blue at 10,000' elevation.
Thank's

dude, congrats on the red. I will be back in FT. Collins in Novemeber for the weekend but I've heard most of the colors have already changed so I probably won't even go looking. While growing up we had a cabin outside of Fraiser and loved going into Winter Park for the ice festivals in the winter and craft fairs in the summer. You're really making me homesick with all the great Colorado images...but that's a good thing cause your images are exactly like I remember. Great job.
i love the saturation in this picture. Did you use any filters during this one? It looks like maybe a polarizer, but i'm not sure of the rules. Great Shot. I wish I lived in the Rocky's.
Wow. I didn't get a chance to vote in this challenge but this is an instant favorite. Amazing view. Wonderful choice of subject and I like how close you are to the one tree trunk. It makes you feel like an ant or an insect crawling up it.
Fantastic shot. It like I can feel it go up. It's the first and only tree perspective I have liked. I wished i would have seen it and helped you get up there. Congratulations.
That sky colour is amazing (did you use a filter to get the blues so deep?). The chocie to shoot up along the trunck works well here IMO and adds a nice focal point rather than just standing in the woods and shooting up. Good luck
Many, MANY, tree shots in this challenge. You did great with this one! The way you composed this with the main tree going from bottom right to center does a wonderful job of leading the viewer to the top of the trees and into that rich blue sky. I can almost picture myself being there. Nice job on a simple subject. Good luck in the challenge.
Wonderful perspective. The rich blues of the sky and the deep golds of the trees are perfectly suited to contrast one another here. The composition is so well done! Bravo.
Autumn in the Rocky Mountains.
