This is as bright and cheery of an autum scene as one could ask for. The variety of color in that tree line is awesome. And then, we get a double whammy in the reflections of same in the water.. The bright green plants growing in the middle of the lake are beautiful and add colorful variety to the composition. Personally, the yellow border does not work for me in THIS painting. But, all in all, this is a winner and a keeper.

Thanks to all who comment on pictures in my gallery. Please accept my apologies if I am unable to thank you each time, and please don't feel obligated to thank me for my comments.
I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.

another beautiful composition of blues and golds that work so well together
the blue space of the sky on the left leaves me feeling that its a hole but not much
but such a nice placement of that patch of remaining green in the water 1/3rd in from the left, with the interesting detail of the three dry trees on the other shore in the middle

A very beautiful scene. I'm puzzled, though, by the jpeg artifacts in the sky near the treetops. Did you "resize this upward" from a lower resolution image?
This photo has it all -- autumn colors, greenery, blue sky with wispy clouds, reflections, etc. Definitely a keeper, but it does require just a little bit of editing, in order to remove those pesky compression artifacts at the tops of the trees.
