This is a gorgeous composition. Nice shutter speed chosen for the water. On my monitor it looks like it may be a tad over saturated but let's see what others have to say since I am on my laptop.

That is an amazing color transition in this picture! Great find! The upper part seems to be lacking a bit in contrast compared with the lower part though.

Bill, What a beautiful scene this is! I like it a lot!, and what a great mood. Makes me look forward to fall already...

Because you shot this in the rain I think the colors would look pretty much like this. Not much better than woods in the fall in the rain, then throw in a little stream...adds up to beautiful! Really nice work on this.

Absolutely lovely! The color of the leaves ant the white bark along with the flow of the water make for a fantastic Fall scene. Shooting this at 10mm really provided some nice visuals.

This is a beautiful image Bill,
Your eye for the best in a scene and your timing are both very impressive.

I'll have to echo Nick's comments on this beauty, Bill.

Beautifully done.

Great work, Bill. The range of colors is spectacular. I can't decide if I would add more contrast, or if I like it as is, but I might play with adding just a bit more.

Really like the soft light and subtle beauty here. Everything feels real and approachable.

This capture has great impact on me, Bill, a consistent and convincing composition. I appreciate your careful treatment of colors, and your choice of shutter speed is spot on to my eye.

Stunning image, Bill. Love your composition, and the carpet of fallen maples leaves is simply gorgeous. One beautiful image that makes the viewer feel as though she/he is stepping into the scene.

I really, really like the comp here! Strong and with great depth. The scene works extremely well as a subject and the mood is just as good. One more vote for more contrast in the back. I know it is probably a flat light situation, but a boost would take this to a whole other level. Excellent work.
