Nikon D300, Nikkor 17-55 2.8 @48mm. F/9, 1/10sec, ISO 200.

The road was covered with bright leaves, pine cones and needles. I added the yellow dahlias. Comments appreciated.

Very nice collection of Autumn foliage here. The pine needles and cones really make it for me. I wouldn't mind a bit cooler processing.

Very pretty. I too would like to see this a little cooler.

Nice fall scene. I'm not sure it needed the dahlias, but it is a good "detail" shot.

Albert,

Very rich, in color and variety. The Dahlias threw me for a moment as they are intruders in this autumn scene, but are nice. I think I would cool the color balance a bit as well.

Wow, is that colorful! No looking away from this image. Should make for an amazing print.

Albert,

Wonderful intimate autumn scene. I love the combination of leaves, needles and cones - but honestly, as mentioned, the flowers throw me off a bit and I think this was a strong enough scene without them. Also agree that this is quite warm - tweak the color balance and this will still be an excellent fall intimate.

Hi All. Appreciate the kind comments, concerning the dahlias, they were my last potted flowers to go when the frost came. I wanted to give them a good resting place

As for the reds, we had spectacular fall color this year .. But.... first and last time i use normal vivid settings on my nikon.: But as Darwin wiggett said, How far is too far?

Delightful image. Might tone down those reds a notch.

I love the fall colors adding the dahlias and pinecones creates great potpourri! Pine needles and a little bit of texture I like that. Keep up the good work
