Nice morning light and no winds made it possible to capture the colors and reflections of fall. All C&C welcomed and appreciated.

Killer reflection Keith and the colors and patterns of the trees is darn near perfect. My only suggestion is to darken the glare on that area of build up on the left side of the pond/lake. I could look at this shot for a long time. I really like it!

Stunning array of colours and gorgeous reflection, holy cow!

I think cropping from above to get rid of the distant hillside would help simplify the composition and probably improve this already fantastic image.

Gorgeous color Keith, and great reflection. I agree with Michael that the reflection off the algae or whatever is pretty darn distracting - I would burn that. Looks like you're experiencing great autumn color!

Wow I wish we got color like that here or if I could magically teleport myself out that way. Fall in the east is just super intense. The reflection is crystal clear and a result of what looks to be ideal condtions. Figuring out a way to diminish the algae will really send this image soaring. Also, I'd also consider a hair crop at the bottom or a little cloning to eliminate that small line of algae or whatever. Good work!

Beautiful fall picture, Keith. The reflection is awesome. I agree with Michael and others about toning down the bright area on the left side of the pond. Very nice.

Sweet color and awesome reflection. I'll echo what others have already said about the glare on the left side.

Fabulous! Our foliage hasn't quite reached their peak yet. When it does, I hope I can find a perfect reflection like this one. Outstanding.

Great reflection and colors...special. I'd echo the other comments about considering a crop of the top and knocking out the strength of the glare on the left. Still, nice work.
