I’m kind of a mind that I think it needs to be abut 20% brighter so that the eye is led from the LRC to the LL base of the mountain, into the sunlight URC. I did lighten the trees a smidge but tried to leave most of the other tones as you posted them. It’s just like an idea and not meant to disparage this fine image. ![mario](https://images.naturephotographers.network/original/3X/d/d/dd2c1796100d4713cd701367b6504cdfa85a6377.jpeg) ---

This is a great scene Mario. Is this in Colorado? I agree with @Chris_Calohan on brightening the image. The fall colours and the cool coloured sky works well for me here. ---

Very fine image Mario. Looks like your workshop is paying off. I prefer the original darker version. We’re not seeing much of the creative images you’re known for, on this trip. ---

> [@Mario\_Cornacchione](#): > Mario, That is some wonderful color and a beautiful scene. Your post looks fine to me but I do like it a bit brighter as Chris showed. Both beautiful! ---

I also like the original as well as the suggestion–the two might be the same shot at two different times of day. The colors are wonderful! ---

Thanks for the comments and rework Chris. I feel like the original post accomplishes the line you mention. I was judicious in applying some radial filters to the aspen nests to do so. I think the general exposure increase also looks good however. ---

We’re not seeing much of the creative images you’re known for, on this trip. Thanks Igor. It seems workshops provide a great opportunity to learn but limit your opportunities for independent time to be more creative. When I do others I am planning on staying a day or two extra to do exactly that. ---

It looks like you had a very productive trip to Colorado Mario, it looks like it gave a great chance to stretch your grand landscape legs. If you don’t mind me asking, who did you take the workshop from ? I like the composition, and the fact you have aspens with a nice mix of color stages. However, I do prefer it slightly warmer / bright as shown in the rework by @Chris_Calohan . ---

Thanks Ed. The grandscapes are new to me so it was fun. Joseph Roybal led the workshop but technically a Dan Ballard workshop. I am doing Moab - off road jeep workshop with Dan in a couple of weeks and really looking forward to that. No iconic spots. BTW you have been conspicuous by your absence!!
