Excellent lighting, Michelle, and pretty colors too. This is a nicely laid out scene.

I would prefer the foreground to be less dark. Perhaps a GND would have been useful. I like how the light seems to make the leaves glow.

I like this, really captures the feeling of golden light in Autumn.

Thanks everyone!
Buck, I wanted this to be darker in the FG. This was the way I saw it with my eyes as it the light went from pre-dawn to the first rays of sun just touching those leaves. Just prior to this, It was dark enough that I had my headlights on as I was driving down this road! I wanted to capture that moment when all is dark and then the light hits and you say to yourself, "wow!" You know what I mean?

Michelle,

t think this is one of those times that I wish we were dealing with a far larger image. I really like Autumn Road but in the this small version I had to look three times to GET the effect that you experienced and wanted to portray.

This would make a great large print.

Sincerely,

Carol
