Eva,

A beautiful autumn scene - I'm really loving the back lighting here. That always gives the autumn leaves that beautiful glow.  I also like the framing of the small trees and branches.  The trees aren't so big that they obstruct the pond, reflection, sky and autumn color.

The only suggestion I have would have to do with the foreground/shore.  Perhaps a slight burning of the shoreline, but for me alternatively you might consider cropping the ground out entirely. For me, the image is all about the back lighting and the beautiful autumn colors.  I also like the blues repeated top and bottom.

Colors and processing look great.

Capturing Moments in Time

 

 

     

To photograph is to hold one's breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It's at that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy. -Henri Cartier-Bresson

A wonderful fall scene, Eva. The light and colors are beautiful. I think I like this even better by cropping the entire foreground out so there is only water and the trees.

I like the vegetation at the bottom. I'm a little surprised about comments cropping it out. The only thing I can imagine is that it's the brightest area in the image and is drawing focus from the main subjects. Perhaps lowering the exposure on the shoreline would help.
