Judges' comments

The intersecting angles in this composition lead your eye to the glowing aspen trees and the dramatic sky beyond. The mass of dark green trees on the left somewhat competes with the glowing trees on the right.

As fall approaches, the Aspen trees' golden yellow leaves shimmer brilliantly in the sun. Listen. Their leaves quivering sounds like a song of praise.

Judges' comments

The stand of aspens in the foreground is effectively framed by the darker trees behind it. The lines in the sky are distracting.
