Hello P.J., I really like the composition of this photo and overall, it works very well.The trees in the foreground form a nice diagonal extended by the solitary tree in the midground. This diagonal is paralleled by a diagonal made of trees in the background. The coulours are beautiful, but to me they give a somewhat jarring impression of being over manipulated. I am less bothered by it when it comes to reds, even though the colour of the fallen leaves clearly does not fit with the chestnut tree above, but it is really noticeable in the blue-green grass in the foreground. The darkening of the tree outline in the mid-ground and background also suggests overmanipulation. It may be due to oversharpening or more likely due to hard enhancement of the vividness of the colours. The contrast seems fairly hard as well, resulting in deep shadows. Overall the impression is pleasing, but the photo looks a bit like the hand-coloured B&W photos of the days of my youth. If this is the effect you wished to achieve, that is fine, but I would have prefered a little more subtle version. I would have given theis photo 3TUs with slightly less in your face post-processing, but you may well get reviews from people praising you for the very same thing that I am criticising. It is (of course) your call. The photo appears a bit unsharp. My guess is that it has to do with resizing. I find that photos with a lot of texture do not downsize well for PhotoSIG, but you may try to do better. I do not know if it would work. I love the photo in the present form too. Pavel

Great colours although they do look a little over saturated, and therefore unbeleivable. The composition works OK, but is a little unbalanced (heavy on the right) I think you could also crop a little from the right.

Postcard perfect. Congratulations on such a fine image. The contrast between orange and green makes this a very special shot. It should be published.
