Order out of Chaos
Wow, what a season for fall color. Here are a couple from the Sylamore Creek area that I like, and thought I'd see what others thought. I can see how some might consider them a bit too busy, but they seem to work ok to me. Thanks for your comments.

And another...

You guys are really getting some nice color. I think the first one is interesting but probably a little busy as you say. I like the second one, I always like this type with the light colored tree trunks against darker foliage.

Bill, you guys are getting some nice color down there. Like Ken, I prefer the second image simply because there is a more clearly defined subject. But I do find my eyes wandering around all of the textures and colors in the first one. Both would be awesome in print. Thanks for sharing.

Both are very nice Bill.......you might consider printing perhaps the second on metal...it would be stunning.

Hey Bill, I agree with the others. #2 has the yellow color nicely framed with the trees. It's good to see someone finding color out there.

I like the second photo best.
On my monitor the green leaves show a lot of white indicating blowout. I would presume it is my monitor.
The second photo has potential but again on my monitor it does not "pop" with color.
Some, and sometimes me included, I think we process too much color--but I've found "color sells"...
Would like to see a large version of the second photo. I bet that would really make a difference as presented.
How about on "landscape" gallery???

Bill, both are really nice but the second one is my favorite, it just looks like it could make a nice canvas print.

I like them both. The first seems to have more depth. It almost has a 3D look on my larger monitor.

"And another" is my fave of the two.
