WHAT? JUST THE RED?

No seriously, I didn't expect this to do so well (and I wouldn't show the original to anyone except the SC, I hoped fall in Germany was only half as beautiful as this shot promises). Thanks for the load of comments, peeps.

Whoa!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!! 7.5 and red is pretty amazing! That is definitely a blue-ribbon score, and certainly worthy of a blue ribbon. But congratulations on Red! It's one of the prettiest autumn scenes I've seen!

Stunning composition. Especially like the way the tree trunks on the right line up in a dark vertical mass, echoed and set off by the dark figure. (Would have been a 10 had I voted in this one).

This works well in this challeng and I think it should do well. I like the contrast and the tones. You are drawn down the road with your subject. I would offer one thing for you to consider and that would be, instead of your subject standing facing you I feel that they should be in the act of walking down the road. It would hold up better in my opinion and give the actual flow to the shot. The placement of your subject is fine and the entire image is "TAC" sharp (f/11?) and overall this is very pleasing to the eye. Nice work.

This looks like Dr. Achoo - if not, take that as a huge compliment. I can't decide if I like the rainbow umbrella against the strong yellow colors in the photo. It is a very strong contrast / contradiction. Regardless of "like" or "don't like" this is a very striking photo.

This is exceptionally nice. I only wish the color on the leaves were a little purer... They seem vaguely "greenish", as if cyan saturation is a tad too high.
