Thanks, Art. I appreciate your comments. The Colorado sky does confuse people, especially when viewed through the leaves of an aspen grove. It's not in the life experiences of some. Be sure to visit the mountains in autumn to see this sometime. The sky's blueness and the dappled light in the grove were the main elements of interest. This image is straight from the camera.

I honestly thought this shot was processed... the bright blue sky, the sharpness... it's amazing that this was straight out of the camera!
either way... a lovely shot...
and the fact that you can take such clean, crisp, sharp photos.... that's the real art here!

This is lovely. Great dynamic range here. Really like the bit of blue peaking out. (comment, no voting)
