Nice color in really nice light, John. I like it as is, but you could also crop the right 1/3 of the photo (eliminating the sky, cut off leaves in the URC, and the mowed grass). You'd be left with about a 4x5 ratio image of what, IMO, is the most attractive and strongest part of the image. :wavey:

Another agreement with Scott (and Lucy). It would also eliminate what appear to be power lines below the URC (more easily seen in the larger image).

Thank you for the recommendation guys, here is a cropped version. It is less distracting from the subject trees

Lovely fall colors & great light John.
I think the repost's a nice improvement.
Not only have you eliminated the sky URC & leaves at frame edge, but the faint power lines more visible in your LP.
Well done! :toast: :toast:

This is a very pretty and colorful scene, John, especially in the cropped version.

I sure like the eye flow here, along the line of trees and then along the mowing lines in the grass. That makes it easy to look at the colors again and again. Might be worth cloning out those few partial leaves at the very top. I can see Scott's suggestion, but I could also see cropping from the left to nearly the closest tree. Lot's of choices, none of them bad. The repost focuses attention on the trees and their leaves very nicely.

The crop tightens up a sweet fall image.

What a glorious autumn shot depicting the nature beauty and its peacefulness with the glowing fall colors catching the attention together with superb light adding the overall beauty of the image. Really like the POV and comp in this as well as the colours and pin-sharp details. Indeed a calm moment and a very poignant image so well planned and shot delightfully. Great work John. :toast:
