I didn't see the other versions but I do like this one. Very nice Garrett.

Thanks, Mary Anne. You already have photos that look this good. In fact, I might have been subconsciously influenced by your "Weeping Japanese Maple" when composing this image. --Garrett

Wow, they really pop out. Now, if only I could get one that looks this good.

Thanks for yet another good suggestion, Mary Anne. The second version had subtle sharpening on the whole image. Here's a third version with additional sharpening on the front leaves. --Garrett

Yes, I think it looks better now without the glare. I don't mean to be nit-picking, because this is a beautiful image, but if you could just sharpen it (well, just the foreground leaves) a tad....

Thanks for the comments. I've uploaded a version with less glare. --Garrett

Leaves on fire!!! Because of the red leaves and blurred background, they appear to have been ignited. Shu

Lovely colors and composition, Garrett, but I think I'd play around with levels a bit. The glare on the front leaves is distracting to me.
