Hello, Garrison...I checked out your gallery and discovered that you have a rather tiny gallery. If all of your photographs are as good as this one, you are a prodigy. This shot is very beautiful. You have a foreground of horses and lush green grass, a background of the most gorgeous autumn leaves I’ve seen in a long time and a deep background of more lush vegetation. I actually said, “Wow” when I saw this, and I don’t give out very many wows.

That being said, I’m not going to let you escape quite so easily. The photo looks a little flat. It looks like you might have used a telephoto lens which is fine but can cause a lack of definition and contrast especially in the background where there seems to be a slight mist or haze from letting the colors leap out. Because the sky is less than dramatic, you did well to crop out most of it.

I have run into a few folks on Caedes who do no editing to their pics. If you routinely do post photo work, I would suggest bumping up the contrast and the saturation.

Because of the wow factor which is about a 9.25, I'd give your shot a 7 or 8 in the voting booth. Well done.

.palral took the words right put of my mouth. The image could certainly use some post processing. I think you'll find that the colors will pop and there will be more depth to it. The framing and subject are great and with a bit of work this could be quite special. Keep up the good work -

As above absolutely stunning the colours in the trees are blow away.Well done to a very nice photo,

After all is said and done nice work.

the trees do dominate the photo, therefore i agree that enhancing the colors would make them "pop".

I think this is a really peaefull pic and with the horses in the pic as well gives it a nice touch

Absolutely gorgeous! You can see similar sights in southern Illinois.
