This image is from Albion Basin in the Wasatch mountains taken a few weeks back. I liked the combination of the colorful aspens and the snow and evergreens in the backdrop. I was there even as it was raining/snowing intermittently - you can see hints of clouds at the top of the frame. ### Specific Feedback I am interested to know what you think of the composition and the different elements in the image. Also, how I might improve this. ### Technical Details 100mm on tripod, ISO200, 1/5s@F16. Polarizer. ---

Welcome back Govind! Stunning image. I love the contrast of the seasons going from fall to winter and you also created a nice layered composition with the greenish leaves in the front to the blazing reds in the middle, to the snow in the background. The only thing that is bugging me a bit is the fog in the upper right, there’s not quite enough to make it feel integral in the scene, but I don’t want to lose that area either. I would consider adding a linear gradient to the upper area and using negative dehaze to add a bit more of that foggy effect, which adds yet another lovely layer to this and ties it all together. I would also consider reducing the saturation of the most saturated colors just slightly. Otherwise, outstanding! ![image](https://images.naturephotographers.network/original/3X/1/b/1baf6745db34055b4a6b5ddb4b2f56258a4d7314.jpeg) ---

Thanks for the feedback and more importantly, the edits and process, David. It certainly enhances the scenery to have more of the clouds in the backdrop. I have some more images where the clouds take up a little more of the image. I too noticed the saturation, which for some reason seems a little more here than in my original file. ---

Lot to work with here. For not being a “landscape” photographer, you did a pretty good job. I really like @David_Kingham rework.
