The blending really paid off in this image. The sharpness from near to far is amazing and really worth looking at the LARGE version.

Really good example of FG, MG, BG composition. A small nit- since the eye is drawn to that red leaf, I probably would have replaced it with a better leaf. But I don't know how you feel about doing that.

Ronald, this image has a wonderful natural look to me, it makes me feel like standing in the middle of the scene.

Very pretty Ronald.  I don't know what  the actual conditions were that day, but I can feel a cool damp chill on my neck while viewing this.

The depth looks great, Ronald.  I also like the mass of leaves.  I think the red leaf adds a good touch of difference although, it does seem like it was placed there since there aren't any other red leaves in the view (an NPN, know too much comment...)  It's a beautiful view.

Quite a log jam of leaves in this beautiful little creek. I like the wet look of everything---rocks, trees, leaves. Very nice job of transporting me to this place. Having said that I like the wet look,  I might consider toning down the light reflections at the very bottom of the picture on the rock. They pull my eye down there just a little. But in any case, a very nice image.
