The high peaks still owe us snow
Bare peaks rise above a gold autumn meadow, with a shaded path leading in from the foreground near Fraser, Colorado.
Standing still was the only way to fit the whole argument — shaded path underfoot, meadow going gold in the middle, bare rock on the peaks above the treeline. My eye kept claiming the mountains were closer than they looked, and the camera backed me up for once. Pines along the left edge kept the frame from spilling sideways, which is the main reason vertical worked.
