Have I missed the comments on this photo? I can't believe nobody has anythng to say about it! Superb shot Dale - the colurs really complement and the reds make the greatest natural frame! Not sure if I would have zoomed further forward a touch to crop a litle forground, but you certainly don't want to take out much of that deep rich red. Who am I to criticise? - Well done - excellent!

Dale, this is the most beautiful fall foliage picture I have ever seen. I camp in Vermont on the weekends from May to October and appreciate the color and the beautiful farm as well. Like Dave said I might crop the very bottom of the foreground, but I also say "who am I to criticize?" It's breathtaking.
Thanks, Sandy

Indeed it's a great shot...perhaps a few steps to the left would have cut out the blue truck and red trailer?

I love this photo! Great colours, and the foliage makes a spectacular frame. I can see how the truck and trailer could be distracting, and I usually don't like that type of thing in images, but I must say that in this picture, I find that they add to the "story" by telling me this is a working farm. If the blue truck was more visible I would find it distracting, but as it is just peeking out, I find it a nice addition to the composition. The red trailer blends well with the foliage. A beautiful, peaceful feel to this picture - a nice country feel that is very soothing for a city dweller to view!
