Autumn Oak
I didn't think we were going to get much color in NW Arkansas this year but this weekend things really popped. We drove as far south as Ft. Smith and the farther south the better things look.

Very nice composition, and I bet it looks even nicer in a larger version.

Nice shot Ed. I like how you've composed this, and the fog makes the sense of depth that much better.

Yes, a very skillfully composed image and a beautiful shot. On my monitor it looks a little light. Did you experiment with darkening the image some? Or maybe my monitor is off.

Well seen and composed Ed. I like the dark arch under your main subject and the mystical effect of the fog.

Randy, Not light, just foggy. I hung around while the fog lifted and have several with more contrast but I liked the look of the fog.

Hard to believe that's an oak, it's so colorful. And the fog really adds some mood to the scene. Nice work Ed!

It seems peaceful to me. You captured the fog well. Your crop works with the lines of the trees.

Ed, very nice composition and the fog really adds to the shot.

Really a beautiful catch of the fog and fall color, Ed. Just a lovely image, great job.
