Yellow!
Mt Charleston, Nevada

At the end of the road at about 8,000 feet, the aspens in the background were turning brilliant yellow. I normally try to make my subject stand out. The normal ways of doing this are by using contrasting colors or tonal values. But in this case I used depth of field to contrast my foreground subject.
