Shot handheld on a cloudy afternoon. I tried to get a hint of autumn color to show in this photo other than the green. This is my favorite place to take photos, so I will be going back to get another shot when the leaves change. I like the vibrancy of the colors and the placement of the road in the composition.

Here's a tip you might want to try. Using Photoshop, open Hue/Sat and select the YELLOW channel. I find that if I edge the yellow "hue" slider just a bit to the right it makes those yellows oh so much greener and improves shots such as this, at least as far as my taste is concerned. Inviting trail there, btw.
