Autumn Trees & repost

A scene from the arboretum on a beautiful fall day.  The sky looked a little washed out so I used a small amount of polarization in Color Efex Pro 4 to darken the blue in the sky just a little bit.

Canon 60D, Canon 15-85@28mm, f/16, 1/125, ISO800.

I appreciate all comments and critiques.

Lovely fall colors in this image, Kathy.  I like the curves followed by the treetops.

You've got a fine collection of colors here, Barb.  Based on the leaf colors, I'm guessing that the red/orange tree on the right is a Sugar Maple.  I think this could stand a bit more saturation in all of the colors, that would let the green grass show a bit better as well as separate those glowing trees in the center from the rest of the view.

Nice effect in the sky Barb. The colors of the trees are vibrant and very nice. Great fall shot.

Here is a version incorporating Mark's suggestion to increase the saturation.
