Another foggy morning that I just had to rework. I kind of like this shot. Thought it might look good on canvas

The first time I worked this image was eight years ago, and it's my avatar. They are different visions, that's for sure.

Thanks for looking,

Brian

It's nice to have both versions to compare. I love the soft but intense color and depth of the image.

Thanks,

I had to apply alot, and I mean alot of noise reduction in the fog areas. I have no clue why it was so noisy. I shot iso 100 with my Canon 20D, and it was properly exposed. It was snowing when I shot this which may have added to that "look" factor.

Loving your images Brian. You have much skill and talent.
Just wondering if this is the actual colour of the leaves. We're over-run with aspens here, but they're more of a bright yellow (with some variation) in the fall. Paper birches have some similarities and are stunning in winter. Love the colours in your photo, the muted light, and the foggy-looking snow.

Thanks. I was going to mention that about the color. I did not really mess with it. I gave it a little saturation. I did not mess with the tones. Actually the Southern Colorado colors are more intense than ours are, up here in Northern Colorado. Ours are more muted, but sometimes intensely red. It varies year to year. I think it varies with water content and sunlight. I've seen miles of yellow right next to miles of red ones, so I don't know.

Thanks again,
Brian

Another very nice capture!

Yeah, in Colorado the Aspens generally turn bright yellow but sometimes you will find them mixed with orange and some green. Like the OP mentioned it varies a bit year to year. Some years the leaves look more "dirty" with mixed colors and the intense yellow is harder to find other years you see grove after grove with uniformly intense yellow leaves. I believe weather and that year's climate has a LOT to do with it.

Great image! The composition really works. I do think I would tweak the color just a TAD yellower to make it pop out a little more. If the white levels are right (which they look to be), I think this would look excellent on some bright white photo rag with a creme matte and contemporary frame. Nice work

A lot of depth to this image and a nice feel to the overall composition. I like it.

Very nice, well composed image. Leaf color simply makes the image to me.

I really like this a lot. The fog really makes this image. I am a bit curious to see what the original image you processed looks like.

Nice mood. I don't know about canvas. I think I would give this one a try on metallic paper. Metallic might add to the glow and mood.

The heavy fog isolates the colors creating a surreal mood.
Great job!

Brian- a spectacular image!
By all criteria I know about.
In southern Utah at 8-9000 feet (east of Cedar Breaks N.M.) are some aspen groves that often include shades of yellow, gold, orange AND red.
Among the various causes of aspen autumn colors, I've been told that the amount of rain- and WHEN it fell- are important color influences.

I like the re-do, Brian. Your going more with the fog gives the scene a soft and serene feel.
