We were in the shadows of the mountains. The light was cool and quiet and no wind was stirring. The aspen trunks were slightly greenish and the leaves were a vibrant yellow...I made a horizontal picture first, then moved to the left and made the vertical image at about the same subject distance. The majority of viewers of the horizontal image think it was a sunlit scene. When I explain it represented diffused lighting from the sky and also reflected light from distant clouds, some rejoin, 'Then why does it look the way it does?' Such questions remind me that many viewers expect a photograph to be the literal simulation of reality.
