Lovely colors. I really like the gold tones. Good eye to see this develop. Only complaint from me is the duck could be sharper.

You're giving me the urge to go out, grab the camera, and take a hike! :-)

I was getting ready to comment on this and then noticed the feedback that nova left on this. I rarely do this, but, ditto what he said (except for the fall is in the air part - felt like winter THIS morning!). :)

Take care.

Cool idea. I wonder what else you could stamp in there.

Nice comp and I like the direction the eye is looking.

This scene has tons of potential but it's one of those cases where you have to be your own toughest critic (something I find very difficult, by the way:) Bottom line is that IMO it's unacceptably soft... sorry!

What a pretty place! Where in WV is that? Good job controlling a difficult exposure. If you had the opportunity and were really interested in going to a lot of trouble for the shot, I think it could be improved by removing the foliage in the foreground.

Lovely composition! I especially like the oak branch that frames the top portion. However for me, the full version is a disappointment compared to the thumbnail. The two main faults in my opinion are the wires and the blown highlights in the forest in the far background. Still a nice composition overall... fall is in the air!

Originally posted by KarenNfld: It is a little soft but I like the upward gaze. I am not sure what you mean by "stamped in clouds around iris".

There is a pattern stamp feature in photoshop that I used at about 42% opacity over the iris of her eye. i think the neat image is what made it look a little too soft.
