Here is another image from our stroll last weekend at Bellevue Botanical Garden.

Nice comp. The path leads right into the middle of the color.

The colors this year have been pretty amazing. This is a good example of just that. I like it.

I'm enjoying this, but like the composition on the prior photo better. The path isn't quite strong enough for my taste, and I think I would prefer a comp without it (probably wasn't available?).

This is pleasant to look at Rick. The colors are really good and the leaf detail is great. I first viewed this on my laptop's lcd and it looked oversharpened, but it looks just right on my desktop machine's crt display.

Bingo, all of the above! The comp is dead on. For me, it's a special fall color image, because we had to leave the PNW 4 years ago, and while the midwest color is nice, there's something special in your image we don't get here: the moss covering the trunk and branches of trees. It's such a great PNW "look", like no other.
