The lone Aspen, Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, 2006

A setting sun paints the rich orange colors of the sole Aspen here, as well as turning the green and brown sage a lovely gold. There are three color layers to this vertical photograph: a golden foreground takes up three quarters of the frame, while the orange Aspen and a smaller green tree to its left provide the middleground, and the towering Tetons offer a muted contextual background. I moved my vantage point so that the pointed Aspen tree repeats the point of the largest mountain.

Thanks, Roberto -- it was indeed magical light, a convergence of the colors, textures, and shapes of nature.
