Voted earlier coming back to comment.

Nice capture of the leaves of autumn and the colors. The capture is good but I think it could be even better. There are just a bit too many leaves in the foreground to hold the eyes attention for the leaves in the midrange & background call to the eye as well. It is a little hard to point to where the eye should rest as the solid main focal point. Perhaps just focusing on three of the leaves getting some nice sharp details with the rest in deep bokeh is one way it would have been better.

You give us this title and expect us to like your entry?

It's a great sky... and good tones... But, I fear you've already told us we hate this.

this, to me, in this challenge, is the most "autumn" image of all....
i think it'll be because of a childhood memory, but it's quite nice all the same.
congrats! my top pick.

I thought this was an interesting shot. I would have liked some more contrast in the leaf/hideout. Good color.

Not sure how many voters paid enough attention to see the spider hiding up in there...
