Very nice! I'd only suggest maybe burning the background a little to make the leaves in the foreground stand out even more.

Nice composition, Richard. Wonderfully true rendering of the colors. You kept all the detail in the reds, which are easy to oversaturate.

Very nice--great subject and good DOF here! I find the white object in the bg to be a bit distracting.

The berries and green leaves form a nice background for the fall color. On my monitor it has a bit of a yellow cast.

Very nice colors and detail in this, Richard. The only nit I can come up with is the slightly distracting bright spot in the background.

The details and colour in the the leaves is awesome... The bright spot in the bg bothers a bit but a wonderful image regardless

Very pretty Richard. I think the red berries in the BG bring an nice extra element to the image.
