This is very well done. Comp is spot-on - the elements are well-arranged but look very natural. WB and overall processing look good to me. Nice one!

Real nice leaf potpourri. Good intimate image. No suggestions here.

Preston, This looks really good. Nice work with the comp and I like how wonderfully natural this looks. The colors and textures are great. Now I just want to kick them around a little bit and listen to them crunch. I love walking in the leaves in late fall.

Preston, as I have noted before, you do a fine job of finding and taking appealing images of Yosemite's more subtle side. I like the range of colors here in the yellow family ranging from bright yellow to dark brown. Colors and processing look spot on.

Nice - effective arrangement and colours. I'd personally heal out some of the dark spots - I find my eye drawn to them, especially the large one at the bottom right.
Cool!

A nicely inviting leafscape, Preston. Both the shape and the color of the leaves are very attractive and those three stems near the bottom add just the right touch of "spice" to create a finely balanced image.

There is a lot of visual interest throughout the frame in this. The elements are nicely arranged as well. I agree with the others that this looks very natural. Thank you also for you comments on my recent posts!

Very fine leaf mosaic, warts and all, including the full stems is a nice touch.

A delightful composition for me, Preston, and your processing is spot on to my eye.

Preston,
This is just a wonderful leaf scape. The arrangement of leaves is wonderful; in fact there is a subtle nature story here; this really showcases the falling of the leaves - over time. In other words, the newly fallen leaves that still have color are layered on top (duh) and the layers underneath are the older, browner leaves and further still they are already decomposing. Ok, I know it's as obvious as the nose on a face, but I think this showcases one of natures transitions nicely.
BTW, it must have taken an hour or more to arrange all these, right? JK.
Love it.
Lon

Lovely composition and tones, Preston. It always amazes me how decay can look so beautiful !

No suggestion for changes from me on this one, Preston. A simple scene very nicely photographed & processed image overall......
