Beautiful work Gary. The colors are great but I also like the comp with the addition of the people. Think it adds a lot to the energy and interest of the image. For my tastes, one of your best.

Gary,
This is an amazing spot. The colour, the light, the people enjoying it all. You did a great job capturing this.

I like the image. It is a good human nature shot. I do see a noticeable cyan cast over the entire image, and think some correction in that area would bring more life to the wonderful color palette in the foliage.

Very nice, Gary. Perfect timing for the colors and light. The people are well placed in the frame to be just a small part of the scene. I love that tree canopy with the forms and color. Being one who rarely shoots people, what about an alternate semi-pano version of just the tree forms and color acheived by cropping the bottom (just at the top of the greenery) and a little off the left edge?

Gary - What a Riot of Colors

. I do see some blue-ish cast to the picture but it might have been induced by the conditions there.

Gary,
the view up is clever. The composition is well chosen, with the bright vivid colors. Excellent fall color photo. The people under trees add nice life to the scene. Well done.

Thanks everyone for your kind comments.

@Michael and Ram: Thanks for pointing out the color cast. Will correct the archival copy.

The colors are indeed wonderful. No wonder it attracts lots of photogs. and where you've placed them works very well.
