I'm really liking this one Jim. I like the contrast between the strong golds and oranges and the snow. This is an excellent composition overall.

Just a stunning image with excellent composition. The snow highlights seem a bit bright.

Wonderful mixture of elements, Jim and the comp is flawless. Little suggestion - cut back on the web sharpening just a bit.

I am going to echo the other comments. Great contrast between the colors in the image and a well seen and photographed composition.

Light and airy with the snow, yellows, oranges and greens. I like this. Composition looks good. Some of the snow patches look overexposed.

There is a lot to take in on this one...beautiful fall foliage, snow-covered yucca (?), & red earth under the snow. Nice comp and well seen.

Whoa...glad you got some shots of the snow. I left a few days too soon, I guess. Love the shot, Jim.

Blazing on the eyes! Hope you got a chance to visit some of the wash areas in that area with the fresh snow - I hoped it would happen while I was there, but no luck for me. The snow really helps simplify the chaotic feel to all of the mesas up there. Hope you get some more time up there. Curious as to why you chose the ISO 50 vs 100 or higher? The noise tradeoff would seem a non-issue? I would think a slight breeeze might blow the leaves around.

Fabulous shot. This one is so good, the thumb even caught my eye.

Jim, the counteracting elements in your image work extremely well for me. A lot of dynamics, nicely balanced to me.

Very nice presentation here, the foreground and the background is so interesting and the eyes lead well especially with the branches of the trees sitting so correctly compositionally.

Well composed, Jim. Strong FG, good lines, colors, and textures.
