A beautiful autumn day winds down on Sweetwater Lake in Talladega National Forest in Alabama. I love being out on days like this!

Sweet! Not nearly as strong as the last one though; sky is a bit distracting here, and the trees all seem tilted right (could be an illusion...) Anyhow, its a gorgeous autumn scene!

Wow, this is beautiful with those reflections. I imagine some of the tree species may be different from those in my neck of the woods up north, but this looks amazingly similar to many scenes in the Adirondacks.

Very nice, Bill. The reflection is super. I'd be tempted to crop the right edge to eliminate the bright sky. I think this improves the image, though others may disagree.

Exquisite colors and detail plus I really like the symmetry in this. Gorgeous Fall scene, Bill!
