This shot is beautiful but I think it would have had more impact if it was sharper.

Like the concept and use of color... very vivid and almost surreal. Perhaps a little sharper especially on the handrails but no big deal. The mood makes up for any minor problems... :)

This is nice. The colors are great. Being centered works with this shot. I like the softness also.

Great fall colors. The soft focus works and your eyes are drawn down a pathway leading into the fall color trees. Nice shot.

I think my favorite fall scene of this challenge. Rich dark colors and the perfect leading line. I don't even mind that it's dead centered. Makes me want to kick leaves as I walk down the path. 8
