Colors of Autumn

I am thankful for the beautiful colors of autumn, my favorite time of year! I love the bold colors in this scene and enhanced them with Tonal Contrast and used Topaz Simplify for a painterly effect. I did a little dodging and burning and added a slight vignette also.

I really love this one, the colors, the painterly look, and the image design are wonderful, especially the two major foreground elements.

Thanks Artie!

Beautiful comp, Judy. The painterly effect is puts it over the top!

Judy, this is beautiful! I like the stream, the autumn leaves and the painterly effect. Excellent composition!

Thanks Steve and Indranil!

How did I miss this gorgeous image! Love the colors and painterly look. Great composition--it includes everything: rocks, golden leaves, water. Beautifully done. And, congratulations on well deserved win.

Thanks Anita!
