Beautiful image, Jimbob. The eye goes straight to the red tree at first but the rest is just as pleasing to the eye.

Beautiful! I like how that lone orange tree stands out and has an equally brillant reflection.

I don't like autumn, but I adore this amazing red tree. I love the reflections of the trees, wonderful scene.

Very pretty place, the water is so clam, like a mirror. Excellent photo.

Jimbob - Yes, the orange/red tree is an eye catcher. But, so too are the reflections. Thad

The red tree is certainly the star. But the supporting cast look pretty fine too.

Another red tree steals the scene JimboB. Kinda like children and dogs in a movie. The grownups don't have a chance.
A good fall foto.

A good looking autumn capture of the lake sans mallards. They must all be sitting at your feet admiring the view. Wonderful colours and a nice reflection.

Think about the photo before and after, never during. The secret is to take your time. You mustn't go too fast. The subject must forget about you. Then, however, you must be very quick. Henri Cartier-Bresson
