I really like the capture of colors and sunburst quality of the sun. This is very subjective, but I find a greater depth of field would really enhance this photo. Very nice work!
I am so jealous. The leaves don't turn where I live and you have a forest of red leaves. (I usually only seem to visit places with yellow and orange ones.) I love the touches of green and the balance of the sun glow with the red.
Just a tish over processed... I think the dodged rays, bother me more than the OP... Knock the ?? topaz or sharpness down, and this would be a Winning shot!!!
