Welcome to NPN Ted! I really like the variety of colours and textures in the lower 80% of the image and overall, to me this is reminiscent of a hybrid of two of M.C. Escher's prints called "Three Worlds" and "Puddle".... only in colour!
I would be tempted to crop a bit off the top - either just below that red maple leaf in the URC or maybe even part way through the brown leaf below it to the right. That would help focus attention on the lower part where there are some really interesting plays between the reflected trees, bright sky, floating leaves and partial view to beneath the water surface along with all the colours & textures. Well processed in NIK too.

Looks great, lots of interesting colors and textures well spaced throughout the frame. Welcome to NPN. After some up and down scrolling, I agree with Karen about the slight crop off the top.

Thank you Karen and Mark for your comments. I see what you mean about the cropping. One problem is that the image I submitted has been cropped to 8 1/2 X 11 format rather than being in the full image that I composed in my viewfinder. I won't make that mistake next time I post an image. I almost always compose fully to my viewfinder rather than planning to crop in post. Thanks again.

Hi Ted I like your interpretation, using the dark tones on the reflections, well done

Mesmerizing work, I could stare at this for hours and never see the same image twice. So easy to get lost visually in its many layers of patterns !
