Description
Crisp and a bit of fog this morning. You know the warmer days are numbered.
The last shot of color this year before old man winter takes over, I think you can get a glimpse of him in the background.

I like how you framed those two prominent aspen trunks near the center of the frame with all of that foliage and other trees. I understand the softness in the image can help convey the mood and atmosphere of the fog, but I personally would appreciate a bit of sharpness, at least somewhere. As is, I’m finding it a bit hard for my eyes to land somewhere.
I love what fog does to fall images, and wish I could encounter it more often. Those ghostly trunks in the background are really nice the way you’ve captured them here.
For the composition, I like how there is a path of sorts toward the fog and trunks. With that said, the path is almost overwhelmed by the business of the foreground. Without being there I’m not sure there was a better option though, and this does work.
Oh wow, I can smell the crisp air tinted with the sweet smell of Aspen leaves. I really like this. It’s a bit soft beyond what the fog would do, but I kinda like it. The lighting on the tree trunks is amazing. I see what others have said about the foreground business, but this reminds me so much of childhood time in Rocky Mountain National Park that I dont mind at all!
I like how you used the conifer on the right and the left as well as the the yellow leaves to create a frame that focuses the attention on the BG aspens shrouded in fog. Its simple and complex at the same time.
Hi Mathieu,
First off welcome back. This is a wonderful little scene that gives us a glimpse of the changing of the seasons. I also like the bit of mystery with the BG fog in the aspen grove. Understandably the fog should be soft, but I find myself wishing the FG was a bit sharper. For my tastes I would try using a little dehaze. Just my opinion of course as that may not be your vision for this image. Nicely done.
Ooh this is really nice, definitely floats my boat. Actually I am not sure you need the bottom tenth of the image at all. I don’t think you lose too much with a small trim off the base. The top 9/10 garner all the attention and is where the sense of mystery lurks.
