Definitely sings a song of autumn Patricia, and I bet you had a little ripple on the water, really like the way the reflections are broken up. Very nice.

I like the image. A nice peaceful feeling. I like the composition, the only suggestion I might try is to crop a bit off the bottom. The reflections start to disappear toward the bottom, maybe crop up to that point.

I like it The colors and the haze reflection work very well together. Could maybe see a bit of vignetting of the corners to put a bit more of a spot focus on the central reds.

Patricia,

I like this - it's actually a bit different, even though we've all seen the elements before. Can't put my finger on it, but this has a "silvery" look to it - ya know, kinda like one of those silver tipped nobel firs around Christmas? Anyway, I think the scattered leaves throughout the reflection work very nicely - despite the bottom portion being soft and oof. I like Tony's idea of a slight vignette. Would loved to have seen a larger version with less web compression, but the message gets across nicely.

Very nice, Patricia. I actually like the more subdued colors in this with the white tree trunks adding interesting lines in the reflection.

Wonderful details and composition. Really like how the white trunks of the trees just right of center seem to have a luminance all their own. Nice work.

Interesting scene! The silvery look that Lon mentions is indeed quite appealing and adds a special feel to this image.

This is a lovely, gentle autumn scene that is made special by the reflection and floating leaves.

Patricia, This is a wonderful fall scene. I enjoy the colors and wonderful reflections, and the leaves floating in the water are a nice touch to me. There is a very nice feel that comes from this image. I too like Tony's thought of a little vignette addedto the edges.

Not your typical reflection shot--and not your typical reflection. I like it a lot. The bg looks a bit soft to me, would like to see a bit more clarity. :wavey:

Lovely arrangement and color on that shore. I like Stan's idea of sharpening just a bit more, and the vignette idea is a good one too.
