Lone Red Maple amongst the Quaking Aspens

This Maple was hidden in a stand of Quakies in an early morning sun.  The Maples turn to fall colors and loose their leaves very quickly so timing is everything.  The white bark of many Aspens presents a difficult photographic challenge in the sunlight.  I find that I need to watch my exposure carefully, adjust the image to not blow highlights and then protect the shadows in NX2.  In this photograph, I am not interested so much in shadows details which simplifies the post processing somewhat.
