Yours is a great picture. Do not worry about the score. I would love to have such a moody photo on the wall.
Great work.

Nice use of a foreground element to create visual interest.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/17/2009 09:24:04 PM
Simple but beautiful. I love the fall colors. Looks like there's a mist of rain between the foreground leaves and the opposite bank of trees. Nice capture.

I like the framing along the top only, it's a neat detail.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/17/2009 07:00:34 AM
Nice painting like background and nice detail and light in the leaves, branches and water droplets in the foreground.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/17/2009 12:32:58 AM
Great tones, nice framing with the upper branches.

I like this very much. Very artistic and very expressive presentation of autumn. Thanks.

03/16/2009 09:31:23 PM
great details, love the shot

I know this isn't going to be on the front page, but as a new england boy I absolutely love this shot. If this were mine, I would have selectively bumped up the curves on the background to really bring out the contrast between the foreground and backdrop.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/16/2009 06:23:56 PM
Way cool shot here. I really like how you've used foreground/background elements. With the mist, the foreground leaves and water drops stand out very well. Nice work.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/16/2009 05:33:50 PM
this would be really nice if the leaves were a little lighter, as it is they blend into the background a lot
03/16/2009 03:16:25 PM
I love the raindrops and the colors of the leaves.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/16/2009 10:25:58 AM
At first I was going to click on by, but then it held my gaze & I looked again. This is one of those that would be different every time I looked at it. A keeper, for sure.

nice shot
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 09:46:29 PM
beautiful use of shallow dof and unusual cropping to create something luminous, moody, and damp.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 09:16:08 PM
I like how the image is framed with the leaves and the branches. However, this framing leads the eye to the open area of water where there is nothing of interest.

If the image is about the rain then maybe a tighter crop around the foreground leaves or branches (or both). The foreground water doesn't really add anything.

Very nice capture of droplets, lighting on the leaves, and autumn color background.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 07:28:13 PM
I feel chilled looking at this shot. Its crisp, honest and solemn. It smells like fall.

  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 11:33:39 PM
This is really beautiful. I love the colors and water drops on the near branches and how well they match the hazy image of the trees across the river. Very nice.

Beautiful! Really nice use of sharp/not sharp, I like how the leaves and the drops just glisten.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 10:11:13 PM
Lovely Autumn colours. Looks like a water colour painting behind the leaves.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 04:36:37 PM
even though the background is dark...it compliments the branches and leaves in your foreground...very appealing
  Photographer found comment helpful.

snapshot look but done by a pro. 8.

03/13/2009 12:56:53 PM
Just the right amount of shallow DOF, this image speaks words, and the words wax poetic.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 12:32:22 PM
Very solemn. Nice lighting on the leaves and raindrops!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I feel like staying inside and making hot chocolate. Reminds me of the Northeast again.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 10:49:52 AM
I like the DOF to see all the way across. Very nice.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 09:36:41 AM
Some magical light qualities...the leaves and dew in the foreground seem to glow.

  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 07:50:44 PM
Very nice image. I like the way the foreground is separated from the background by the rain. The leaves and branches are very crisp and the colors are handled well.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 05:07:34 PM
I love the fact that you went for the subdued light and saturated colors of a rainy day vs the standard dramatic landscape with the contrast and color jacked way up. The golden leaves absolutely glow.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 04:54:05 PM
Great shot. Love the leaves. You can almost hear the raindrops.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 12:30:04 PM
I like the different perspective on this. Nice detail and the title goes really well.

definitely a hidden gem, the leaves have gorgeous tones and this looks like it belongs in a calendar ...
