High Mountain Ranch

One of the things that I enjoyed most during my drive through southwestern Colorado was how green everthing was.  Every square inch of mountain contained greenery of some kind.  Fall was certainly in the air, however, trees and foliage alike seemed to defy the coming cold season with one last display of nature's beauty.

I made this image on a high mountain pass during my drive from Durango to Silverton.  My main concerns were depth of field and to accurately capture the colors of the lake and background.
