Love the colors Lucy.

Somewhat unexpected, but interesting, compositionally. It seems very soft to me though, or out of focus.

Wow, those are BRILLIANT colors. I does look as if the reds got oversaturated, resulting in some loss of detail. That's a problem common to many cameras (including mine) that takes some careful metering and processing to fix.

The colors are very bright, but the almost look a bit over saturated and a little soft.

I think its an OOF issue, check your focus and aperature to be sure. But i love the vibrant colors and the comp is cool!

Great colours Lucy but the softness does bother me..

Unfortunately, the leaves are a little soft is because this an older photo,that I had to scan. It, of course had some noise, which I, unfortunately, had to deal with. But, the colors are pretty true. I also have some photos from that day with bold, incredibly dark, pink, and some with electric yellow.leaves.
I only lived 1 year in Northern Virginia, so I don't know if these bold colors are typical....But, that year they were! This was taken near Clifton, Va.
The day was beautiful... not a cloud , this intense blue sky. Almost surreal colors..Plus, it was a cool, crisp day . but not cold, because of the bright sunshine. Just wish I had had a digital camera then !!!!!!!!
the lighting must have been just perfect, because I felt just like Dorothy stepping out of her house into the land of OZ !

Technical issues aside, I love the creative use of the leaves to capture the beauty of a super blue sky. Blue skies are beautiful to enjoy real time, but hard to appreciate photographically.
