I like the gathering of all the elements together, leaves, branches, and rocks, great color and detail, well done

Nice shots.

Did Autumn ever start in the UK?

It seems we went straight to winter. We missed out on all the glorious colours this year. I remember the same time last year being blown over by the strong autumn colours. This year in the same spots it just never happened

These are both lovely. Great compostion and color!

Perfect water exposure.

Outstanding!! Very rich... CP??

Thanks for all the comments

I didn't have a CP, but one is on my Christmas list - the water was just very shallow and I was lucky with the way the light was hitting it. A ND filter would have helped too, too much quality degradation occurred due to diffraction from f/22 upwards.

It was quite difficult taking photos with my 60mm macro (way too long), so I hope to get the 10-22 to start upon my landscape journey (especially for Christmas). Another inconvenience was the water hitting against the tripod, during a 5" exposure that can build up some camera shake.

Hence a fair bit of PP went into the images, here is the second shot unprocessed:

Siejones, we did have a great autumn, which part of the UK are you from?

I am from Wolverhampton, West Midlands area but have done some traveling into Wales a few times during the Autumn period and couldn't believe how dull and lifeless the trees were.

There is this one spot by where I live that a cycle through quite regular and the one day last year when the sun was out I was amazed at the colours. Strong reds and oranges e.t.c. This year again I go through regular and nothing

Very, very nice photos. I love the richness of the colors.

Nice quality shots, excellent work, well done.

#2 is great, nice work

Great shots. Care to share the PP done on #2?

Nothing really spectacular; unsharp mask, curves, saturation (separate for each hue), (dodge the dark areas), blur the noise in the water, final unsharp mask, border, and thats it.
