Stunning image. We went there too (still to process) and I can only appreciate how well you captured this!

The colors and exposure are nice, but I always see photos like this and wonder what it would look like with a tilt shift lens so all the trees aren't "Falling Over". I won't know and it could end up being boring, but it always makes me wonder. All and all, nice work.

I actually shot this with the camera level at first but the trees were so tall that zero sky would come through (even on a 14mm), so my only option was to just embrace the distortion and let it fly! The sunset is what set this composition apart from what I normally see so I decided to just let the distortion do it's thing. Thanks for the comment!

A photograph should be judged on the impact it makes on the viewer .. this got a Wow from me. Great reward for your effort.

Nice work. The distortion that can be a problem at 14mm works well here.

And luminosity masks, I've heard of them but would like to try at some point. Editing by brightness levels as I understand it which seems to make sense here with a bright patch of sky near the sun as far as isolating it.

Thank you all for the continued comments!

I also want to mention that this place is on private property and the office must be contacted to sign a waiver, etc, in order to shoot here. They are happy to share the place with photographers but they do allow hunting on the property so it's best to get permission first so they can tell you where to go without getting shot. Literally. I was actually contacted by the CEO who (very gently) reminded me of this as I was not aware when I shot...and then also to order a print. So I'll take that as a compliment!

While I agree completely if you are venturing onto their property that you absolutely must ask permission first.

However, there are quite a few county roads that travel directly past their land. And as far as I can tell, it is still legal in the US to photograph anything you want from a public road unless the Gov post a sign like at a military installation. I was on such a county road when I shot my shots, and many of their trucks passed me that morning and every one waved hello. Very friendly bunch of people!

I wonder if there are still any leaves left this season? Probably not...

rparchan vs. arturS...
A tough decision, so I voted for both!

Congratulations!
