Oh! This is awesome!! I love the composition and the colors are stunning. Thanks for your comment on my Flora shot. I actually had to think of you because I almost called it "Carnival" - had it been a user name challenge, I would have! :o)
I don't get the out of focus comment. Looks in focus to me, maybe I need glasses. Nice color study and I find the composition very pleasing. It doesn't look over saturated to me.
I love the lone tree going through autumn's change along the shore line! Soooo lovely! Only thing I wish I could see is the rest of the tree's leaves on the right. But this is very pleasing to just look at. (How I'd love to be sitting there)
Hey you, good job and it feels like you have got your love of challenges back which is great. Love the soft range of blue hues from the sky to the sea and the way that this emphasises colour of the leaves on the branch. Great application of the rule of thirds as well
The blue on blue background is the perfect offset for the leaves, but it's the apparent person at the base of the tree that makes this shot for me (even if it's not one, I'm going to pretend it is).
