The rock looks very good and the colored leaves on the tree behind add a nice touch of contrasting warmth. I find the tree trunk at the end of the rock distracting but I don't see a solution to that other than looking for a different rock. I know there are a few other similar rocks in the park,

, but getting a nicely colored tree in the proper place will be a challenge.

Ronald, I like this as is. The capture seems to work just fine from a composition POV and the overall DOF blending looks excellent too. A very natural look to the scene. Well done....

Nice colors and tones in this Ronald and very sharp throughout. Very natural processing also.

I like the natural feel to the light and color here.
