Autumn abstract of BWCAW trees. I was using a technique recommended in Outdoor Photographer a few years ago. Slowed my shutter speed to 1/20. I think it worked!

It was tough because all the photos are excellent but I'll have to give the nod to Ethan's "Taken Along the Echo Trail".
While the topic was "Fall Color", the only way I could really narrow it down was to add a further qualifier and change it to "Fall Color in the BWCAW" -- after all, it is the BWCA board. Ethan's photo, to me, most evokes being in the BW in the fall, and the colors found there in the autumn.

Compositionally speaking, it's a strong photo as well. I love the way the stream leads your eye into the photo to the right, then the tree line takes you back to the left... to completely explore the image.

Well done and congratulations to Ethan!.

Larry Ricker
