Polarizer? (I think so, but I'm not certain.)

Jim,
Very inviting comp, leading the eye to the colorful leaves, through equally colorful rocks. I like the fallen leaves in the foreground, continuing the theme throught the image.

Looks like this was a difficult scene to find a good comp for Jim, but this works well. There's plenty of detail in the FG and the lines leading up and back to the colorful distance is great. Very nice!

A different and refreshing approach to an autumn colors photo, Jim. I like how the rock channel leads you to the bright colors in the background. Nice details and texture in the rocks also.

I would love to go there! Very pretty, and very nice comp. I like the way this leads your eye straight to the color.
