Wow - when you said vibrant colours you really weren't kidding were you!!!! stunning.

With no mention of what you wanted response about particularly i will comment on my thoughts generally. I like how the trees feel like tehy are jumping out the foreground with the leafless tree branches in the background - a movement from life to death almost... These trees which are the point of focus which your eyes move to becasuse of there boldness (the red one especially) is rather central and it would be interestning to see the difference moving it slightly - maybe to be looking slightly more "down" the nicely formatted line of trees less then at them front on would give even more depth.

Nice shadowy feel captured on the far right green/yellow tree leaves...

Maybe the yellow tree directly left of the red one is slightly over exposed but this isn't too noticeable due to the feel of brightness you want in the image as a whole.

I like how you kept the dead trees in the background giving more perspective on the leafy trees although i would like to see more of the leaf covered ground - it seems cut off rather abruptly.

A stunning image! a little more of the surroundings) would increase the fealing of the autumn cycle (leaves falling on the ground which creates the trees in the background...) Wonderful colours so just the composition and shot angle i would consider. Nice depth to the tree's esp on the right with the shadows and colours!

Did you boost up the colors a tad? The reason i am asking is the red looks great but the yellow in the one tree looks a bit blown out.
But a beautiful scenery anyway. I saw this and went wow!

Since I shoot in raw, yes it is boosted slightly. It is strange that I agree it looks blown some here, but it looks fine in Lightroom on my screen.
