Here is an image that I took this past fall along the Blue Ridge Parkway. Red is my favorite color so of course I’m loving this image with all of the reds and oranges. But I also like the variety of color in this scene. This section of the parkway is known for its vibrant color.

125 mm

Processing info: I cloned a few distracting out-of-focus leaves along the edge of the frame. I also adjusted mid-tone contrast using TK’s luminosity masks and made a slight adjustment to vibrance using TK’s vibrance masks.
Hi Brian, I really like this image. It has a nice, soft light and the colors don’t look too saturated. Wonderful. The composition is good. I don’s see any different comps or crops so enjoy this one as it is.
A nice slice of fall for sure. I find myself studying the bare tree near the center more than all the color though. Not sure if that’s my failure or the photo’s. And when I say failure, that might be too strong. But if this is about the color, I think the bare/light trees are too eye-catching for me to concentrate on the foliage.
This is a very nice fall scene Brian! I love the mix of colors. I also like the bare tree and don’t find it distracting. The comp works as is. My only suggestion - when I look at the large version, the yellow tree just above the bare tree grabs my eyes a bit too much. I suggest reducing the yellow luminosity a touch to reduce the brightness, but just a little.
