 This was taken soon after an early snow caught everything, including all the fall foliage, completely off guard.

PP was simple:
Slight level adjustment, slight hue adjustment, bump up the saturation, then increase contrast slightly, run through USM, and crop / save for web.

I love how you've framed the smaller trees with the larger. Tonal range is great and a beautiful shot of a very common day thing, well done!

The colors in this shot are just amazing; they almost look faked. Congratulations on such a beautiful piece.

pretty colors, nice detail in the trees....kinda have to search for the appearance of snow though since it is so far back in the image.

I like how the larger trees on either side seem to fram the three smaller trees in the center of your image. Good colors as well.
