I found this grove of such beautiful trees at the college I attend and just had to snap some shots of them! <3

Katie - Some wonderful fall colors, lighted nicely by the setting sun. Thad

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine
The range of colours on those three are quite something. Light and colour are all good. The challenge these kind of settings offer is compositional and your solution is as good as any I've ever come up with. The height of this crop does limit how you can view the image, reality forces compromises on us I guess. With so much going on around these three trees it's hard to isolate them from their context, some way to improve that would lift the impact a lot I think.

It is not "The powerful attack the weak." it is "The fearful attack what they fear."
Very nice colourful scenic photography and i like the narrow effect.Plus nice sharp detail and great lighting in this scene.

Welcome to Caedes! You did a great job capturing the colors here. I'm glad you shared because we didn't get much color this year.

Lovely colours to be sure, but Mikel made a valid point. There is no compositional structure, and while it's not always a as easy as it is to say, there is usually a method.
In this case if you didn't have a huge rock or bush in the near foreground to emphasize depth and create balance, you probably could have picked up a few leaves from under those trees, returned to your shooting area and placed them on the ground, not too far in front of you.
Then when composing, have those leaves showing quite large in the lower left foreground in your viewfinder/LCD with at least one of the leaves pointing towards your scene.
Depending on the amount of light available, you need great depth of field for both subjects to be sharp, and increasing your ISO speed to ISO 400 will probably suffice in similar lighting conditions.
Also, let the leaves look natural with one upside down and possibly overlapping another.
One more thing. If you cropped to the base of the trees, it's too tight.
If not, always give more space then necessary, as excess can be cropped. Creating foreground that isn't there is quite a bit more work.

Thanks for the honest critique. I really appreciate it. I'll start working on my composition more often. I think I missed most of the colors though. Darn.
I'll be sure to keep your suggestions in mind next time I go shooting!
