Beautiful color and Fall mood Albert. My only problem is with the amount of dark trunk in the lower right. I might be inclined to crop up some from the bottom and take it pano. Could just be me though - see what the others say. Love the mood of this.

Good frame filling leaf shot. The colors seem a bit flat on my monitor. I have no problem with the dark trunk. To me it comes with the territory and is in a minor position in relation to the leaves.

A beautiful autumn collage of colors and light, Albert. I do like Phil's suggestion to make the midtones pop just a touch more.

I like the composition and agree with the suggestion to give more contrast or saturation to the image.

While I like the comp and the color, Albert, I think this needs a bit more - maybe a bump in contrast or saturation; or maybe even an Orton effect.

Edit: Whoa - great minds must think alike.

I made those comments without reading the other ones first!

I like the Orton processing Albert. Makes for a stronger image.
