Unsure if I'm a fan of the glow added to the image (I call it 'glamour glow' from the Nik plugins but I think it has another name when applied to landscape) and would love to see it toned down or eliminated.
On the other hand, I actually really like the foreground dynamics.
Beautiful image Matt, love the saturated colors in this. I might suggest cropping just a little off the bottom edge, to just above little green plant. IMO there are some distracting elements along that edge, but still a gorgeous image.
a bit much of the fg as someone else had mentioned. but always good to have too much to crop. :-)
if i have to nitpick, the partial branches on the right hand side is a detraction to what otherwise an outstanding image. perhaps they can be cloned out??
This scene is wonderful! The colors are something I have never witnessed in person before, and hope some day I get to visit an area with such stunning fall colors. The processing works very well here to convey the emotional feel of the view. Thanks for sharing.
