They're about 200 yards too far for Flash Fill, but the rim lighting, deeper woods beyond , and their stance lets you know you're not getting any closer.
Nice lighting and colours in the photo Doug. A good looking fall scene and capture. to my eye it is perhaps a little over sharpened or its the way the lighting affects the scene. Anyhow, I added a slight gaussian blur and it made the scene more pleasing to my eye.
The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
