This shot just really does not work for me, IMO the image is very busy and does not really have great tones and colors to help carry the busyness of the image. Looks like the image was taken mid day which is not a great time to be taking this type of shot and the evergreens are really dark in comparison to the other trees. Finding aspen groves that do not have evergreens mixed in really helps and time of day is always key. Hope the info helps, good luck in the challenge.
