VERY NICE!...love the droplet! #1548280

Elaine Hessler October 13, 2013

Yep-we are peaking here too:) I bet by this time next week, no more leaves:(

Do you have another shot which has that water droplet in focus along with the rest of the leaf? Love the colors-the orange is so pretty along side the green. #10871016

Very nice, but I agree with Elaine. #10871061

Love autumn colors and is the one thing I miss most from my hometown in Washington state. Thanks for these, Rita. #10871513

How about if you recrop the first photo of the second post to include the orange leave with the water droplets in focus (in the middle) and do a square crop up to the upper right corner, leaving out the curb?

Love the colors. #10871999

Yeah, what Elaine said. . . . #10872175

Nice colors! I would like to see the suggested crop. I really like the wet leaves one, the drops are really nice.
Our leaves are past their peak and falling so fast! #10872347

'Changing of Seasons' works extremely well for me. the colors are beautiful and the rain drop sets the whole scene.
As for sharpening the drop, that should take only a minute. To try it for myself I made a screen grab, selected the raindrop and applied one of the sharpening tools. Seemed to work well enough. Why not give it a try? #10872500

These capture the fall feeling very well. I like all three and think you have some great suggestions to work on. WTG Peter!

I love the feeling of melancholy that I get from the Changing of Seasons shot. I think the lighting is perfect for showing off that rainy day sadness.

thanks everyone I love the colors of fall but I don't like knowing what follows it. I will work on your suggestion but tomorrow I have another full day. Please check back in over the weekend I will have it done by then #10872918

Love these. We don;t get fall color like this much in Texas. I have to go north to Arkansas for lots of varying color or Colorado for the gold and green.

I wish the water droplet in the first was in focus, too, but the photos is still super. The details in the leaves themselves are super. #10873399

Rita -- great shots. LOVE the water droplet. It was the first thing I saw. I think you got a lot of the different fall colors all in this one shot. I don't think I will get to Ohio before there is no more color - if I do. I need to call you. #10873664

ok I try several things but couldn't get a better water drop so that is going to be as is. but here is the crop that Elaine suggested. #10874219

Beth Spencer October 17, 2013

I like the crop. #10874353

Rita K. Connell level-classic October 17, 2013

thanks Beth #10874447

Pretty! We've got plenty of rain here, so you may be getting gourds from me for the challenge tomorrow:) #10876384
