I am guessing this is the same place he shot too....

my question is....why such a huge color difference between yours and his...who's image is more natural looking....

Actually Jack's shot and this one were taken miles apart. I focused on this area since the leaves did have greenish hue to them.

Take all the pictures you want......but you gotta rake 'em! Nice shot Mark, from the ground to the trunks to the branches.

Yeah, good one, Mark! Even when Fall falls to the ground, there's so much to look at– the structure of the trees again reveals itself, as seen here; the ground cover looks like luminous stained glass with all the leaf carpet. It all comes across very well in this image. I like how you centered the fg tree and let its symmetry express itself.

Great comp Mark, and the carpet of leaves is really attractive. I like the comparison of color to Jack's. My only nit is that the trunks are too dark (for my taste on my monitor).
