 Autumnal scene at Minnowburn Beeches, near Shaw's Bridge in Belfast.

Combination of three exposures using Photomatrix Pro.
Had to adjust the colour balance as Photomatrix cast it very blue/green. Plus a little bit of unsharp mask.

Nice location - branches from left are distracting, consider moving lower and closer if possible, maybe angling up so that the line of the bridge is in the lower third of the frame, more trees - just a suggestion. Image doesn't seem to show HDR much, revisit tone mapping.

Seems like the whole photo is a bit too dark, but I kind of think that adds to the "feel" of the shot. Very lovely colors and composition.

I feel that the colors are not defined enough - needs to be sharper, crisper . . . dunno

The image is pretty and the colors are pretty vibrant (yellows). The image itself really doesn't stand out from the competition

A little flat for my taste.

THis is a nice composition, however it seems a bit flat on color and saturation. I also wish you had brought out more detail in the shadows. This is a 6 from me.

A very pleasing shot that feels 'believable'.
