damp autumn

This is one great capture of fall leaves
A bit over saturated in my opinion

Like: Fall colors, reflection of the tree on the water through the leaves
Dislike: Saturation, the tree is trimmed.
I like it.

I love this composition, and as Rick Turner observed, I would like it even more a little bit less saturated.

If you do this kind of thing in ACR, you might want to try settings like clarity +35. vibrane +18 and saturation -15 or something like that to see how that strikes you. Because I think this composition has sufficient strength to carry it without color given the lines and reflectance. So I would suggest starting from that and adding color back in because this is really more about form than color, to me at least.

Nuno,

What I find fascinating here is the pool of leaves. The mirror-like reflection almost looks like acrylic - or something like that, a sheet of glass; which is fascinating because you would think the leaves would provide some texture, breaking up the surface of the water a little bit.

Personally, I don't find the saturation too high. Normally greens might go neon when saturation is stretched too far. I think the diffused light is working here to make the colors richer.

The only suggestion I have is a slight crop from the top to eliminate most of the patches of sky. The image is all about the pool and foreground, so the top is expendable, IMHO.

What a lovely scene. In particular, I like the unassuming stump in the middle of the pond and the strong anchor in the large tree trunk on the pond edge. The colors are rich and vibrant but not beyond belief. Beautiful image

Agreed on the sturation..just seems a bit much. I like the thought behind it. Did you try a polarizer here?

Yes I used the polarizer and the colors practically came out so strong camera but personally I think they are a bit more saturated.
Here is another less Vibrance and Saturation.

I like the second a bit better - the colors are still plenty intense but not over the top. The combination of leaves/color in the water with the unbroken surface reflection is striking. Don't think I've ever seen anything like it.

2nd post is more to my liking
I look to the field of grass in upper left to find the correct balance

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder~great capture

A very special and unique autumn scenic. Wonderfully composed with great colors,
textures, and tree lines. You also had optimal lighting. I do agree with others thatt
the saturation maybe a little strong; nevertheless, this lovely

That's very special, Nuno. The dark values feel a bit underexposed, but that does make for some rich color.

The saturated first post didn't bother me as much as the bright reflections in the water Nuno, I actually like the bottom third of this as an image by itself. This is a great find and beautiful spot.

Marvelous color. Very vibrant.

Well done, the second version is more appealing to me. Composition works well as is, though for my taste a little bit more of patchwork of roots on the right would complement the mirror of the pond. Deep rich colors, beautiful location indeed.
