Kenosha Pass in Fall by Zara Otaifah

Captured during a scenic road trip toward Crested Butte, this image of Kenosha Pass highlights the breathtaking transition of autumn foliage. The photographer intentionally extended a four-hour drive into a six-hour journey, prioritizing the pursuit of light and color over rest. By focusing on the vibrant, golden hues of the changing season, the image transforms a simple mountain pass into a profound celebration of nature’s fleeting beauty. Its award-worthy quality lies in the harmonious balance of composition and the evocative, warm atmosphere that captures the quintessential spirit of fall in the Colorado high country.
