Interesting comp--confusing but coherent! Im wondering if a slight warming might improve this--since warm colors seem important here (the reds in particular) which seem to clash with the blues in the bg.

Very nice shot and colors!!! :toast:

I do feel it is slightly muted and could maybe benefit from a slight contrast boost in the lights and maybe a touch more saturation.

Wow, that's is an incredible array of fall colors, Dan. I'll second Mark's suggestions.

I'd love to see a huge print of this Dan. I like the image a lot as posted. Warming might make it pop a bit more but I'd need to see it to know. Great detail and mood.

NIce profusion of color, Dan. I'll echo what has been said about a slight boost in contrast and or saturation. Wonderfully chaotic.

That's an amazing collection of colored leaves, Dan. You did a fine job of positioning the trees in the frame. I like this very much as posted, it's wonderfully subtle and inviting.

Great job putting this scene together Dan and nice positioning of the trees. I agree with Mark's comments about contrast and sat. To me some of the purples look off and a lot of cyan in the greens in the backround. But should look great with some slight adjustments.

This is an interesting composition. I agree with Stan that warm colors are important here so I would suggest a slight warming and also as Mark said a slight contrast boot and a bit more saturation. Beautiful scene :toast:

What an amazing palette of color. The lines of those trees set against that color work so very well.
