Beautiful colors!

Compositionally, I like the last one best. The one with the lake has potential, but there is too much sky and lake. It could use a crop.

schmoo

I really love the first one in particular. Not only do the lines of the road, wall, and lane dividers draw the eye into the smack dab center of the foliage, but I find the texture differences between the asphalt, grass, trees, and sky so appealing.

Great job!

The first and last are excellent.

The other two just need to be viewed at a much larger size to be appreciated.

I love the first one. My family and I will probably be going to Asheville in a few weeks. My guess is the leaves will be well past their prime if not down by then.

Just gorgeous! Someday I'm going to make it to the East Coast in October (I keep promising myself!) The first one and last are my favorites. Thanks for posting these!

Wow!
I can see why you pulled over and started shooting on that first one. Spectacular!
