Autumn color in the Seneca Creek backcountry, Monongahela National Forest, West Virginia. From this past October before all the leaves were gone.

Thanks for any comments! Joe

Love the tree that's rooted in the lower left and extends to the upper right. It almost looks as if it's stretching

Nice shot

There's nothing like fall color on the east coast. Enchanting image.

I really must head your way for fall colors some time, Joe. This has so many colors and textures to enjoy. Just awesome.

This is nice Joe but an image like this with the detail gets ripped by compression. You could use the large option in an alternative way to show the detail in a cropped version. Yeah, I know great idea!

Was gonna go ahead and post a larger link after seeing Steve's comment, but it looks like it's too late for that now. Oh well, next time

Thanks Bill! One of the best things about shooting in WV is all the ferns lining the forest floor.

a very nice forest scene, brought together in a simple yet elegant way by the curving shape of the tree, well done!

Thanks guys and gals! East Coast color can be quite amazing indeed. There is just so much diversity in the forest that produces a multitude of different colors! One of the few times of the year that I actually enjoy living in the east.

This is a wonderful Fall forest scene. The variety of color is something I miss from the east now that I'm in Colorado. These forest comps are difficult and you've done wonderfully here. Looks a bit busy at this size, another vote for the larger view. This is one of those images that I'm guessing a large print would really sing.

Nice! My favorite kind of shot, now if you could've done that fog dance like in Whiteoak Canyon this spring!

I envy all you guys for the autumn colors you got this year. None of that here in Miami. I have to make it a point to make it out there next year.
Great shot, Joe... I really like the contrasts (and colors, of course)!

Unbelievable comp, exposure, color, and pp. I'm at a loss for words to describe how good I think this is.
