Forest for the Trees

Sometimes it’s difficult to see the forest for the trees…literally. I found a patch of leafless aspen trees in a slough and felt there was a photograph to be had, I just had to find it. I walked around for quite a while trying to find a composition when I suddenly noticed the green leaved aspen trees behind the leafless aspens. I overexposed the scene keeping the interesting shapes of the foreground aspens but allowing the colour of the background aspens to come through.
