This was a wonderful day trip to the Deschutes National Forest in the winter. I like the fragility of the Aspen tree juxtaposed against the strong, stalwart Ponderosa trees.
Any feedback.
Is this a composite: No

Well, this is an interesting juxtaposition of color, shape and texture between these two species of trees. I live back east where we have no Ponderosas, but I’ve loved encountering them on my trips out west. The texture and color of their bark has so much character. I also think the color combination of white and red/brown is very appealing. i like the centered composition too.
My only suggestion is that this appears a bit bright on my monitor. I brought it into a levels adjustment layer in photoshop and pulled back the white output level, and thought it helped. I would try going back to the raw file and pulling back whites and highlights to do this in raw if you can.
