Wow, Kathy, very nice abstract composition. I really like the transition from the foreground colors to the mesmerizing orange tones at the top. The blue sky reflection is like a dividing line. Diagonal composition ads a dynamic presentation.
Super job,

Hi again, Kathy. I've seen two from you in one day. Mind you, it is midnight Sunday here. This one has a marvellous range of rich colours, and is a superb image of autumn. Very high quality shot at slow shutter speed and simply but effectively framed. Well done.
Regards

Hi Kathy,

Lovely autumn colors. I like the deep blue color reflection of the sky again the leaves. What happened to the upper part of the image?

THis almost looks like a painting. I like the contrast between the reflection and the leaves in the water. THey are placed well in the picture. Nicely done Kathy

Great photo Kathy!
I like this reflection even more than the previous one; the colors melt together in the water in a mesmerizing way. The lower section of the photo with the random-colored leaves resting over the grasses is also gorgeous. These two representations of autumn leaves come together for a wonderful shot.

Hi Kathy,
This is a very artistic composition and reminds me of contemporary needlecraft - the sweep and blurring of colours has very tactile textures as seen in embroideries. I agree with Mike, the dividing diagonal line gives a dynamic edge to the image. It is outstanding piece of work in which autumnal deep colours are used to the best affect.
Best wishes,
Celina

You absolutely achieved your set goal in capturing the artistry of nature in this shot. I'm not quite sure how you got this colors on the top, but it simply looks magnificent.

Your abstract shot is quite interesting. The leaves floating in the blue sky reflected water is good by itself. The colorful stuff on the top of the picture gives the picture a unique contrast but one can't make out what it is. If it's a reflection of leaves off trees, then I don't know why it's not vivid in the reflection.

Hi Kathy,
first i have to say i love autumn in mass-there are so many different colours. Your photo really looks like a painting. So many colours in one place-grass, water, trees...Very good composition.
Excellent work!!!

Hello Kathy! Beautiful visions from Central Massachusetts, my old stomping grounds. This one is very creative and abstract with the mysterious reflection at the top balanced by the interesting leave patterns at the bottom. Brilliantly conceived and executed.

Regards,
Doug

Kathy,
I like fall leaves. Everyone will calm down by looking at this wonderful photo. I guess you have 500 tones of warm color, 500 layers of brightness, 500 shapes of element and 360 degrees of freedom that not any Kaleidoscope can come up with. The magic blue mirror brings this chaos back into unified form. I like the blue swath at the top which makes the photo more spacious. I'll come back to see this art work often.

Very artistic shot indeed! I love the blue sky and the orange reflection but the floating leaves are very romantic by itself. I can see it in a cover of a mellow music cd ;)
This is Wonderful Kathy!
