Since Morris requested some, I'll post a few of mine from this fall. I only made one, two day trip which didn't produce very much, and then just shot images around my house or grab shots while driving. Any critiques would be greatly appreciated! Click on the link below for the images.

Excellent collection, Scott! Thanks for sharing. No real faves as they are all equally strong.

Really liking the leaf closeups - the contrasts of texture and color against some excellent backgrounds.
The reflection is also notable - is there a curious natural shift in color warmth on the reflection against the slightly cooler color above water?

Thanks for your comments Morris and Karl. Karl, it is naturally occurring, every RAW photo I took has the same effect and I did minimal post-processing to that image. I know reflections drop the light level but it also seems there is a color shift as well, maybe due to the color of the water.

We have maples in Colorado?
Wonderful set of images. The closeups are my favorite. You certainly found some leaves with great character to photograph. Nice variegated colors and detail. You really have some pleasing backgrounds to go with them too.

Sweet, really like those leaf macros and the #2 Maples...good stuff!

Some very nice work here, Scott! Critique-wise, I have nothing to offer. These have all been captured and 'developed' very nicely.It comes down to what you like most, and that would be 'Transition', 'Aspen Forest-Minturn' and 'Autumn Cattails' for me.

Your photo of the Aspen Collage was sick! Love the colors and the "feel" of that one. Everything looked well done as far as processing goes, you have a great album of fall shots!

I like the Fall Maple against the deep green. The details in the semi-decayed leaf are nice concentrate on.
