Sometimes you have to have been there to truly appreciate the colors.
I've shot images, especially in canyon country, where upon reviewing later
at home thought the colors were somewhat outrageous.

Fascinating, John. Having been exposed to autumn foliage colors long ago
I find this photo looking a bit artificial. Like you overdid the
processing or may be because the yellow is to hmmm how to put it -
overpowering here. May be it was your idea, but I think this is kind of
shots that really depends on the climatic zone of the viewer :-).
It is sort of overpowering. That's what I went there looking for.
Kodachrome country.
In flat light the aspens would be yellow, not so orange, but it was the
peak of fall color for the area. Part of my schedule for the trip was to
put me there at just that time of year so I could photograph the aspens.
It had been a long day driving and the weather wasn't very good most of
the way. Started out from Durango, CO that morning headed up to Silverton,
CO on the Million Dollar Highway, to photograph the Durango & Silverton
RR.
After the train left Silverton headed back to Durango, I continued along
the San Juan Skyway circling around toward Cortez, CO where I intended to
spend the night. Sometimes, bad weather makes for good photography. It was
about an hour before sunset, and a break in heavy storm clouds as I was
driving up this long hill bathed the aspens in that golden light.
I tried to be as faithful as I am able to the light as I remember it. I'm
setting white balance in Camera Raw off the gray underside of the clouds.
