Beautiful pictures! Time Winding Down is very nice, I like it because I love pictures of the forest. Time Changing is my favorite picture though. I love the colours in it, the reflection on the water, and how the tree acts like a 2 sided boarder. Very nice.

All three are nice shots Lynn. I'm thinking the last one most clearly says something about time. Much as I like the second one, how clear is the 'time' message? Maybe it's just me.:dunno Lovely photos. :thumb

Lynn,
I really like the second one, the colours are lovely and its an original take on autumn. Sid might be right about the "time message" but it does tell you srongly the time of year it is, whether that's enough I'm not 100% sure :dunno....maybe check with andy

Well, Lynn, I strongly like the first one, how about that, :D . Can't keep us all happy, lol.

I will tell you why, if I can remember. And keep in mind that I am not fond of
"green" shots, just in general and usually. But this one I like. The play of light, the colors, and the 3D effect. I know there is a place over on the rightish side that I felt I could just see "through" to.

The second shot, the reason I don't like that is it, in my most humble opinion, is an easy shot to take. On the ground, in the water, where ever, I take those shots, in quantity so I can choose the composition. Because of that, the shot does not speak to me as "special". An amateur would probably not think to take it, they wouldn't have anything to do with it. I never have anything to do with mine, actually, I just take them.

Same with water lilies, anything like that. But just because only us "good photographers" take these pictures, it does not "wow" me. Now that is just my opinion.

I know you are also getting positive feedback on the last shot. Have you tried darkening it, something to give it punch? To me it just lacks that final touch, and I think you could get it in post, maybe. It certainly has the reflections.

This is just my opinion, I know you are getting lots of different ones. I like the first shot best, it is the one I couldn't have taken..........not that I am anywhere near country that has the others, but I have been, and the top shot is, IMO, the best you have done with "green". I have never taken that shot, I have taken the others, IMmostHO.

Im drawn to the second photo. Wow, what contrast, those beautiful colors on that dark water. Amazing.

This one is pretty amazing also. Nice composition, especially the way you framed the shot with the tree in the foreground.

ALL THREE ARE GREAT:clap I really can not pick one better than the other one or three would be mine but whats a 3% + or - if I can get this focus and quality i would be a happy guy but alas no camera very nice!

Lynn, I have to agree with the rest, these are beautiful shots. The last one is particularly georgeous. Your challenge shot relates more to the time theme.

I like the leaves best. The colors are attractive and vibrant. This picture is alive. (and kicking).
The watershot is as another person noted easier to take then the leaves.
Your leaves are more pro IMHO. The changing of seasons is definetely time

Lynn. I see you've already submitted. I'll still throw out another comment on these.

#1 is beautiful. What a great location. I'm not sure if the Subway can take me to such places. Beautiful.

#2 is even better. Lovely composition. You submitted it, and your right for doing so. Lovely.

I really like these shots.
