I’m digging this scene! It has nice balance compositionally and I like the different colors here - it for sure conveys fall color. I might be tempted to reduce contrast a smidge but otherwise I like it a lot.

Hi Randall: Outstanding fall image. Edge to edge full frame. The color is peak and tree limbs spread evenly and separated throughout the frame. Excellent visual balance. However, consider that the image appears a bit over sharp, which could also be too contrasty. You can reduce the harshness of the feel by dialing back contrast and maybe adding a little glow. This would make a beautiful print.
