This is a very nice autumn scene--I wasn't able to get anything this nice this fall. I like how the leaves are following the same approximate line as the water. I will say that the comp feels a bit tight to me, though--that's just personal taste.

Great range of fall colors, also like how the branch angles across the frame

The colors are to die for. I wish for a bit stronger blur in the water, but that would probably have brought some blur to the leaves as well.
Home is where the heart is - in my pictures.

It is safe to program a computer with common sense. The first function to fail is the start-up and no further harm will be done.

The idea is good, but a longger exposure would have helped a lot.... Good try though!

The idea is good and I like the exposure you chose. you are kind of in a bind on this shot because longer exposures equals more blur in the leaves. What I don't like is the clump of leaves that enter from the top.
