A lovely fall image! Great colours , fine detail, and a nice comp.
That little gray blob (rock?) on the lower edge draws my eye a bit.

Thank you Sandy! Yes, I did debate that rock with myself a bit. But when I tried to remove it, I found that it was much too heavy!

Pieter, the framing of the colorful tree looks good and sets it off well. In the large view, the upper portions look a bit soft. The bright bit of stone in the lower left corner needs to go away and the bluish does get significant attention. That can be toned down with some local desaturation.

Thank you Mark! Your input is always appreciated!
