Oneonta Gorge Trail

I like this backlit fall image.  Very interesting.  My only thought would be to reduce the highlights in the center a bit.  Love the glowing moss.

That's a real nice oak with wonderfulu color. Our Oaks in Yosemite were very drab and brown this Fall. Not sure how easy it would be tone down the high lights in the center, but this presentation works me as it is. I like the grey sky along with the yellows and greens.

Beautiful image Daniel. I'm surprised you're not getting more comments. 

The glowing moss was also what caught my attention first, very nice. Quite an usual comp, but works really well. Nice job!

Daniel,

Awesome job of filling the frame with these backlit beauties. The little bit of highlights in the moss covered branches is a wonderful bonus.  and the sky, enough detail and contrast to make it a plus also - at least it's not a distraction.  Beautiful all the way around.

I really like the key elements of this image.  But in my opinion, the clouds in the upper right don't add any interest to the composition.  I think that cropping from the top and right to completely eliminate the clouds in the upper right, even though some of the autumn color would also be lost in the process, would result in a more balanced composition.  There would still be plenty of autumn color remaining, along with all of the wonderful backlit moss-covered branch, with still enough backlight coming through the leaves to accentuate them nicely.
