I can not remember if I had posted this here or not. I do know I posted it on a different site a while back and most were not as excited about it as I am. This image was taken when I had just started getting serious about photography in the fall of 2002 (I put the wrong date on the photo)

Shot taken with EOS III Fuji velvia and a polarizer (I think it is a bit to deep of a blue sky) I still like it though.

I wanted to post it to get a response from you all. It keeps popping up in my files like it is stalking me or something :) Am I kidding myself that this image is interesting? If you do not like it, fire away please I enjoy hearing opinions.

i like what you were after here. i think the glowing aspens are cool, but i prefer a tighter frame with the sky cropped out. to me it doesn't add much since the aspen are what drew you to the scene. if the foreground shadows had more detail i might change my opinion about the crop.
thanks for sharing.

I think it has potential and is a nice composition but looks way to contrasty to me as presented here.

Looks great to me, I love the composition and colour. I just don't think the scan does it justice.
