I always come back to this one. One of my top 5 fav photos here at DPC. It has such a lovely light and detail. It is so representative of fall and it reminds me of the aspens in my part of the world. It is one I would like to hang on my wall sometime. :)
The colors and scenery is fantastic. The hues are warm and golden. I am caught holding my breath for this really takes on the aspects of a painting found hanging on the wall.
This was one of three 10s I gave in this challenge (that's 3 more than I usually give - the standards were VERY high here). I absolutely love the mood and the light in this picture. It captures autumn just perfectly for me and has the added bonus of looking a bit like a Weston image (with colour). Well done - I believe this deserved a ribbon.
The shadows on the bottom and the dark clouds on the top help frame the trees beautifully. It's hard to find such a good shot in natural light like this! Well done! 9
Surreal. Great drama as a result of the lighting. Am I biased because the birch is one of my favorite trees? Good job! The only thing I would like to see a bit different is the shadow in the foreground... but I realize it is difficult to control nature. 9
I must have shot hundreds of fall shots like this, but not many of them were of much worth. This one however, is really nice and effective. You chose a good time of day, and your composition and colors/contrasts work very well.
This is beautiful- stunning, ominous, inspiring- I love this shot and the fact that you have conveyed the true emotional power of nature. Best of luck. "10"
this is gorgeous! we're still waiting for our leaves to turn, and until then, this is what i'm looking at! great composition and use of lighting. you really captured the moment. the detail is tremendous. one of my top picks for the challenge. good luck!
Yes, that is the real golden Autumn. Just the heavy shadow in the lower part of the image gives strong contrast, without which I think the picture would've been more optymistic. But... it doesn't have to be optymistic (especially with the dark cloud above), does it?
So nice. love the colours. REALLY love the texture you get from the low sunlight. the shadows at the bottom in front of the focal tree bug me a little, but that's a nit-pick. I love it. looks like fall near my house. well done.
Revisiting for comments: Nice colors and scenic phase. The low lighting was every useful here to capture the golden colors from the low light. Well-done shot.
Beautiful... the colors on the leaves are great, and the texture and detail on the tree trunks bring some real depth. Nice and sharp all the way out to the horizon, and the backlighting really works.
The light here is wonderful. You've done what is very difficult and produced an ordinary scene in a very special way. I love it. I'm also a fan of silver birches. Hope you do well. [9]
Great Autumn colors and great time to have taken the shot. When I see the sun breaking out of the clouds like this I always look for something to shoot quickly as it never lasts for long.
I am a sucker for fall colors, and you picked my favorite trees. I really like the light and the sky in this one as well. Not quite a wow, but very good. I could see this hanging on my wall. 8.
It's a nice shot, crisp and excellent colors, great sky, too, but not very in-your-face surprising...for a fall picture, it doesn't have that oomph... but I like it nonetheless, particular the clarity of the foreground tree and the lighting. Thanks!
This is beautiful but I would have prefered a different time of day to avoid the harsh shadows against such delicate foliage coloring. Yet, the composition has great strenght and beauty but the viewer feels he wants to see more of the dark backland. Despite all this the coloration invites the eyes back again. Bumping up.
Some beautiful light, and I like the neatimaged clouds but the composition here is a bit chaotic to me. I'm not really sure what the pof is here. The trees and hills look way oversharpened... to the point of actually losing detail. 6
Wow, is it that time of year already somewhere?? I'm not ready. Good color and the sunlight hitting the white trunks works well. Seem like you could have cropped out that one burned out area in the clouds on the left. Great shot.
Very detailed, something to keep looking at time after time. I can really make out the different textures here. Only gripe is the cloud on the LHS, seems a little overexposed. 8
Beautiful colors and tones. Can't make up my mind about the shadow in the foreground. Guess I would have tried cropping with and without the shadow to see what the effect was. Excellent landscape.
wow this is deffinitely a touching image !
gr8 use of colour and focus... composition is exquisite as well however its a shame to have the amount of shaddowing in the foreground as is present... it would IMHO have a gr8r effect if it was in its original tones of colour however that is not something that you could possibly control... i highly commend you on such a wonderful photo and look forward to seeing more of your work :)
Love the late day(?) lighting and the play of shadow/light here. Clouds and high contrast really give this picture a dramatic feel. Also a good feeling of balacnce of all it's elements. Very painterly and beautiful. 9
i love the aura and the feeling of this photograph. to me it reflects very well the feeling of fall that i get every year, the changing colours and the cooling temperatures. i hope this photograph does very well in this challenge.
Wow! I love it! I've seen several ads online lately for autumn photo contests. I think you should enter this one because it definitely has that winner look about it. I love the stormy skies as a backdrop to the beautiful autumn colors in the trees. I'm giving this a 10.
This is so good- I love how the leaves are so crisp and the details are so perfect. The sky is great and there is such a mood, so relaxing. Awesome, love it!

WOW!!!! I can't wait to see who did this one and where it was taken... Absolutely goes on my favorites list. I have nothing to critique as I would not change anything. Great dramatic lighting, I love the surreal feel of the image, and what really captures my attention is the way you've isolated the detailed silhouettes of the central trees from the thicher trees to the right.
Lovely shot. Hmmm I think I know who this entry is from..but I won't be so presumptuous to state it. One of my favourites though.
Excellent use of light in highlighting fall colours and sculpting your subject.
Mother nature co-operated here. Gorgeous fall shot.
I absolutely love this. The light and composition remind me of an oil painting. The artist is Turner who knew so well how to paint the qualities of light. Beautiful!
Now this is a classic example of how to capture scenery. You've taken a mundane landscape, and transformed it. Absolutely gorgeous. The lighting is haunting, and leads you into the trees. Perhaps a little *too* blown out in the clouds on the left. However, it's like looking at a fine painting
