Aspens in Horseshoe Park in Rocky Mountain National Park. A late season snowstorm coated the trees. 12" of snow fell.
I did compare this entry to the fully desaturated version.
I felt the desat version lacked depth, even though it would have solved any concerns about a color cast in some portions of the entry. The challenge entry is a very accurate representation of the true light and color conditions of the scene. The desat version was not a good representation.
So, it was a conscious decision to use the straight from the camera colors. There are many areas of white-white, which tells me the camera's AWB worked well.
Four votes were scrubbed at rollover, which improved my score somewhat. I see there were 7 votes of "3". Thanks a lot.
There are two people who have harassed me over the last few years. They will always be ignored. I just wish they would redirect their attention to others. They are entitled to their votes and comments, but they severely degrade my experience at DPC.

I have to say...lots of white...but also lots of midrange gray. I tell ya, I'd rather see some blown highlights in a light on white entry rather than see gray. However, you still get a high score !
