Hey there!
Wow this is a really nice image that draws the viewer right in. The depth and lighting are perfect as are the colors. To me this image is deserving of a 6 but I don't have any left :( I wish you luck in the contest!

Very Nice! The smokies are extremely beautiful in the fall. One of the reasons I moved here to Tennessee and only 20 minutes from Pigeon Forge. I love all the colors of this pic and the falling leaf is an added bonus! :) Great capture of the Great Smokies! :)

Cool,Jodi!
That's a really cool looking picture,my friend!
The scene reminds me of how it looks in the late Fall here in the foothills of the Adorondack Mountains!
Slightly eerie,a little Mysterious and very enjoyable to look at!
'Good Show'!

Nice capture, especially the falling leaf. Although subtle, I like the bluish cast of the tree limbs and the orange leaves, being complementary colors. Nice clarity, nice composition. Well done.

Oh my, Ive been trying to accomplish this for years, aha, its not easy to get leaves falling down, and of course I usually stop and listen and the forest is alive with the sound of falling leaves, nothing like it, very nice

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! I did not know that I had caught that leave falling until I looked at pic on my desktop so that was an exciting bonus!

Comment from supergold
I see the falling leaf, but it would be more interesting if you could capture a bear; lol;
excellent capture of this forest with the autumn colors of the leaves on the ground;

A beautiful stop action picture of the forest with the sun filtering through from behind & the bonus of the russet coloured falling leaf near the bottom left. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

Thank you for telling a bit of a story about your photo. It's so pretty. The falling leaf is a nice capture! Don't you love it when that happens?
There are so many colors in the photo and the different shades of tree trunks give it a nice depth. I feel like I could walk into the photo. Great job!
