I had an empty spot in my favorites. Thanks for filling it (a title would be helpful, though). ;-)

A promising scene, but the wild colors and noisy artifacts make the image look as if it were taken with a video camera.Too much JPEG compression and/or oversharpening?

Clearing Storm — Nantucket Sound, Autumn
by Bear_Music

Comment:
Reeeeeally wide angle, but the people are too tiny to create a real focal point IMO, and the muted color in the sky seems a little strange. I'd love to see this with a pure white seagull soaring relatively close in the upper left (easy, right?). Still one of the better entries in this group. 7

Storm's a comin'

A promising scene, but it looks like you exposed for the sky. If you aimed for a good exposure on the land instead, it would have simultaneously lightened the foreground and made the clouds more ominous.

Distant rumblings ... Ominous warning!

Fabulous scene. All the interest is in the lower half, so you could crop an inch off the top to make it seem more panoramic without losing any impact IMO. 8

Ahahahahahaha! Great idea. Even better if you were closer to fill the frame and the background were, uh... simplified.

Bear River Mist

Beautiful composition, love the background mist. I like the desaturation, too, but it's a little bit too much. Pity the sky wasn't more cooperative.

Wonderful light and composition. I can imagine this scene with fiery red and yallow maple trees along the horizon. *drool* 8

Autumn Falls
by SJCarter

Comment:
Very pretty... beautful color with a "fairytale" quality to it. A longer exposure would have been nice to balance all the fine detail against silky water. I probably would have cropped the bottom and cloned out the bush to make the view seem wider and offset the falls so they're not vertically centered. Actually, knowing me, I probably would have waded out there and yanked the bush out by the roots. ;-p
