Awesome, the trees giving me the scale of these mountains as I have never been to Colorado. Congrats

nice shot overall but I would have given some more saturation maybe to the image to become a total wow.

I agree the detail of the trees helps to understand the scale of the photo. I like the dusting of snow on the reddish rocks. Congratulations on your POTD !!

Nice shot. As a Colorado Springs resident and photographer I have a few like it in my files, but this one is very good. Looks like a cold morning. Thanks for posting.
