Great stuff so far everyone!

Here's a somewhat cliche shot from a great Colorado fall a few years ago. I think I'm getting a little too old to bend over to shoot images like this on my 4x5!

Is it bad that I've started just sitting down on the ground to do them?

Actually Brent, as I viewed this I wondered if you were lying on the ground. Certainly shooting from down under. Cliché? Perhaps but the colors are beautiful. The white on the tree trunks is a bit distracting. I think if they were toned down or even cropped, it would improve the image.

Great capture, I like the yellow leaves against the vivid blue.

What a fantastic colors Brent,

Is the blue color really natural, or did you help a bit. Very nice picture,

I have always liked these pictures no matter how many times I see them. They wouldn't be popular if they weren't nice. Well done.

Love the colors, Brent! The gold color of the leaves really stand out nicely against that gorgeous blue sky!

In the words of that great American philosopher, Keanu Reeves, "whoa." Nice one, BD.

Beautiful shot Brent!!! But I must admit, I'm a little confused - I don't get the blue and gold. The Steeler's colors are black and gold, and the Bronco's colors are blue and orange???? You aren't a Notre Dame fan are you???
