About the Image(s)
I just got back from leafing in CO, but haven't had time to download anything. A few years ago in the same place we were yesterday, I saw this longhorn heading into the colorful aspens. So pretend it happened yesterday.
Canon EOS 77D, f/14, 1/200, ISO 800.

I would not have expected to see a Longhorn in the woods! Love the colors and composition.   Posted: 10/09/2025 21:15:42
Love the aspens, Leslie. Not crazy about the cow, though, especially from the back side. I probably would have had a different reaction if it had been a deer or big bull elk--and I know you have plenty of both in Colorado. This may be my personal bias showing, but the real star is the aspen trees. Your composition captures them quite well. You are so fortunate to live in a place where you don't have to drive far to see them every year about this time.   Posted: 10/13/2025 17:13:07
personally I find the aspens without the longhorn rather boring. I liked the cow just because it was so unexpected there.   Posted: 10/19/2025 23:24:26
I like the fall scene. I like that you were able to place yourself so that there was enough separation between the aspen trunks. The only thing I wish in this scene was to see the Longhorn in its entirety and maybe even face towards me. Such is nature.   Posted: 10/13/2025 17:21:43
Love this eclectic image...the trees and colors are beautiful and the Longhorn a pleasant surprise. I've done jigsaw puzzles with natural landscapes (all those similar looking trunks :-)) like this and every time decide not to do one again....they are impossible!!
But as an image I find it soothing! Nice   Posted: 10/16/2025 17:43:27

I love the way the trunks of the Aspens come together visually. I agree with John and would prefer this photo without the animal.   Posted: 10/18/2025 16:07:05
