Standing Tall

[AlanLichty]

A scene from alongside the road on Oregon's highway 36. I picked this shot out from captures I got two years ago along this roadway and will be driving again in a few hours on my way out to the coast.

Some fall colors along Oregon Highway 36.

C&C always welcome.

Great shot Alan. That maple is tall but the conifers are taller.

Thanks - the conifers are always taller because they can grow year round and during the rainy season while deciduous trees drop their leaves and go dormant during the rains.

This is sure nice Alan.

I think a slight crop to lose that darker green leaves/bush in the bottom right gives a nice finishing touch in this. Those greens are just different enough from the rest of the scene that the eye gets distracted by them and pulled out of the frame.

Thanks - I like your crop idea. I don't have the master file that's behind that image with me on the road right now so I will have to defer making that edit.

PS - the leaves were much farther along in changing when I drove through there today so not quite so many nice scenes to shoot.

it amazes me how you manage to isolate one or two trees out of the chaos of the forest to create an organized comp. well done as always!
