I photographed this scene along Nason Creek in Washington State. We have some great fall colors here in the Pacific Northwest!

Wow, this is colorful. I really like the way your processing renders the leaves - they're just bursting with color and subtle detail. I'm conflicted about the prominent tree trunk, though. It appears so red and saturated that it's competing with the fall foliage, and to my eye it is almost too colorful (especially in contrast to the relatively drab tree that is somewhat hidden behind it).

I like the framing of this amazing fall display. The color in the main tree trunk seems a bit bold.

You captured some real nice fall colors. The prominent tree trunk seems to be too saturated (red) for me.. Like David said it seems to be competing with the fall foliage. Otherwise I like the image, especially the composition.

WOW, what a palate of color. I agree with the others on the red tree, but well seen.

I like the various rhythms here with the colors and tree trunks. Great fall colors, indeed.

Nice composition of some excellent fall conditions. I think the color is too heavy. If you neutralized the reds in the front tree a little, it might make the rest of the scene feel right. As is, it makes me think the reds are too much.

Justin,
Really love the autumn scene you've captured here. Interesting that I see the color of the autumn foliage as being quite good, but I'll have to agree with the others about the strength of the main tree. The comp is strong and the diversity of color is wonderful - if it were mine, I would back off on the tree; either general sat or reduced red. And it doesn't need to be changed much.
I really like the intimate comp and I also think the secondary trees really add to the scene as well.

Justin,
Intense colors, indeed. It caugh my eye right awy from the thumbnail. The trunk is perfectly included. As the others, I think a bit less color would be best, and especially leaving the trunk as natural as possible. Anyway, wonderful scene!
