On our southwest swing north from the north rim of the grand canyon we saw several stands of aspens across the meadow along the tree line. Wanting to stop and take some photos of something other than a hazy grand canyon during mid day was needed after striking out at the rim. These are a bit different, but I hope you enjoy, Kevin.

I really like the first. Fantastic composition. Thanks for sharing.

Both of these look nice, Kevin. The compositions are solid in both.

Hey Kevin,

The first on is a bit too busy for me, I am not feeling it in that one... But... #2 is really interesting. I like the pattern in the tree's, and I like that it almost looks like a selective color shot, like you removed all the color from the tree trunks. That one for me is really special.

I am with Jim, the first doesn't grab me that much but the second definitely does. Fascinating patterns.Ute

Thank you all for viewing and commenting. Jim,Ute, the 2nd is a selective color shot I converted the image to black and white and through a mask selectively brought back the grass area then went back and carefully worked the tree trunks. The whole idea in shooting the aspens were to play with things like that and not just shoot aspens per se.... but, as in all things some are more successful than others like you pointed out in the first vs. the 2nd shot.....but thank you very much for your comments.. Kevin.

I like both images. At around 8000 ft. the Aspens go bald in a hurry.
