Sun gets that low it's just too dark even though the leaves are coming off.

I really like the fall colors and the lovely environment.
I like the leading lines of the leaves in RLC.
I might crop a bit from the right to get rid of the dark clump (branch).
perfect head turn and I like the visible feet in the water.
A bit of NR as yo have mentioned will tidy this up nicely,

I love this, both for its deep, rich colours, and its portrayal of something that - for me - was totally unexpected: a nuthatch on the ground, bathing in a puddle. It makes me happy to see this.
