NICE!!!!! The red of their jackets really add punch to the otherwise neutral tones. I like the curve of the road and the yellow stripe pulls your eye right to them.

That golden foliage is gorgeous. Sounds like you really appreciate the less hectic pace of life in your part of the world. Looks like a wonderful place to live.

Autumn Trees

Comment by travis_cooper:
This is the best, of the many, autumn tree shot I have seen so far. I really like the colors, and the soft focus. Nice job.

Happy Birthday

Comment by bassbone:
nice bright colors - it looks like someone had a fun birthday - the slinky in the upper left is a distraction and the lighting is rather uneven

Apen Glow

Comment by dtremain:
You got robbed - this is a beautiful shot - one of my favorites of the entire challenge (I was one of your 8's). Of course, this is a close-up of water, with the beautiful reflection of aspen leaves distorted on the surface, and a single leaf to tie it together. Not sure where the other voters expected you to stand to get a "more macro" shot of this...

You have some beautiful nature shots - including "Swift Mountain River"

It's very difficult to get a good shot in bright light, and you've done a nice job of it. Your colors are brilliant, and the contrast isn't overpowering.

Fog in the Hills

Comment by macrothing:
Certainly better with the top of the hills/mountains and the sky, even if it is blown out, in my opinion. Difficult to make suggestions/try edits using this size. Perhaps if you could resize it to (at least) 720 width might help. I did try (and am certainly no expert), but it was too small really. I think what Bernard_Marx suggested is a very good idea:

Originally posted by Bernard_Marx: This is a lovely shot Darlene. Why don't you post it in the forums and ask people to edit it (listing their steps). I bet you would get a number of takers on such a fine scene.
