Fall Leaves and HDR Sunset Photos (Many Large Images - Warning!)

Sorry for the large images - and a lot of them... I warned you!

These are all pictures I've taken this week, and the first ones I've posted on the forum in the sharing section. All of them taken with my Powershot A700.

Tell me what you think:

Nice colors in the leaves. Good series.

The fall series are nice, glorious colours, although I would like to see some sky detail, HDR images are poor, over processed, soft, colour shifts, over saturated etc etc.

Colorful images & welcome to POTN but:

IMAGE POSTING RULES
As of July 20, 2006

Image Size Limits:
Image must fit in 800 pixels by 800 pixels box.

Allowed # of images:

In 'Photo Sharing' section:

when you attach images, you may attach max. two (2) images per thread
when you embed images, you may embed max. eight 8 per thread.

With the right sky the autumn photos would be excellent, but still the colours shine through. HDR images.....well, think Les said it all really.

Sorry about the posting limit, I didn't see it was 8 per topic - thought it was 8 per post, and forgot to resize

And yeah the HDR images were my first ever so the quality's a bit crappy

Posts have been edited to have links instead of embedded images, sorry about that, I'm a n00b

And now I'm home instead of at school, so I'll add more detail to my comments before:

For the fall photos, thanks for the comments - as for the sky detail - the sky was completely grey, that IS the sky detail

And the HDR ones - yeah it was a windy day so my tripod shifted for the shots to correctly expose the ground, and as a result - bad HDRs, but oh well. They shouldn't be over-processed though, since I put them into photomatix with the default settings..maybe I'll fool around with the settings some more on my next HDRs.

Thanks for taking a look anyway Not my best photos, but I thought I'd share anyway
