Judges Comments

Here is an impressive array of autumnal colour with a side story about the tenacity of nature. I wonder if you used a HDR technique with
this image? I ask because there is a uniformity of exposure across the image that does not ring true. If that is the case you should have
had control over the exposure of the sky in the background. So in those circumstances (if I am not making a complete fool out of myself
with incorrect assumptions!) I would have toned the sky down to make it less distracting.
