Beautiful interplay of light and shadow - some beautiful foliage with very powerful color. The composition is excellent as well.

What strikes me with this image is the painterly feel and the gentle flow from foreground to background produced by the transitions from shadow to light and back again.

I really love the way the light strikes the mountain, dark then light then dark then light again, followed by the misty look in the background. Really an above-average fall color shot.

I love the balance of the cropping, but the trees look oversaturated and somewhat fake. Am sure that it was breathtaking to witness in the moment tho.

Great colors, love it how the flows of the foreground go into the hazy but still colorful hills in the background. The line from the right, that is lit by the sun and goes int the frame as a triangle brings the live to this photo. Nice work.

Superb. Colors are on point, the mountains in the background are on point and focus is a winner throughout. I'm really glad you shot at a high aperture. I would hate to lose those mountains. A solid 8.

While this shot lacks a traditional focal point in composition, I think this is one of those instances where you can know very well the guidelines needed to create a great photo, and then choose to ignore them because the shot speaks for itself. My top 5. Score 10.

it's nice to see originality in autumn colours, the misty background is very pretty. But the foreground is too dark I think. 6
