Roy,
I suspect this was taken in the Gatineau Park. My neck of the woods for some 40+ years.
Absolutely stunning.

despite the urban mood due to the road the autumnal light for the trees and the shape of the road itself make this shot quite interesting and nice to see following the lines in the middle of the path

Marvellous. Reminds me of John Denver's Aspen Glow.
Thanks for sharing.

This is a road that cars should never be allowed to drive down. It should be for people traveling at a speed no faster than their feet will allow. Mostly for such that not a single color, or slightly turned leaf will be missed. The colors are so explosive and you have done us all a favor by sharing it. Beautiful, stunning, warm, I could go on for hours. Great shot.

nice mode nice shot roy.. a nice autumnal corner in the street!
the curves are in contrast with the lines of the trees, but are Homogeneous medley of colours and quietness is together one!
congrats for the main page

I would do a slight colour correction to keep the roadway grey. It probably was warmish because of the light filtering through the leaf canopy. With PhotoShop it is easy to locally colour correct the asphalt to be neutral. The brain plays tricks whaen we perceive something to be off colour.
Nice S-Curve which is a very strong compositional element. The colours a lovely. I would have taken this as well and then maybe waited for a second shot with a human element. Wait for a appropiate coloured sports car, bike whatever. This is not to say this shot isn't a wonderful image. You could have a series of winners from one shoot.

Roy, It's a fantastic image. I should have never screwed with it. The more I look at it the more I like it. It must be a wonderfull drive down that road.

I meant to say that the posted image is not precicely what the camera saw. I did what I would consider to be the appropriate adjustments to the raw image file before posting.

Roy, Now I feel bad. I didn't mean for you to change it. If UF would let me re rate it I would give a 7+ over the 6 I originaly gave it. Maybe one of these next viewers would be so kind. By the way your entire portfolio is awsome!

Hey Pat -- The image is changed from the original. It has more contrast, a tad more saturation, and has had the white balance adjusted (as if I had used a warming filter and velvia).

You're seeing three things going on that give the apparent softness that may not be obvious in such a small version. This is a longer exposure - 1/6th of a second. This is a telephoto image (70mm x 1.6). There is intentional camera shake on the tripod (used my hand to operate the shutter) to soften the edges of the leaves a bit more.

I too think I prefer the origional. However, I might suggest a little more DOF next time. That tree in the center of the road in the back is a bit out of focus and I think it would feel better to me if it wasn't.
Just a thought.
Cheers

Don't get me wrong, your photo is great. I ment no offense. I just like darker more moody scenes. If I hade taken that shot I would be too proud to change a thing also.

Hmmm... I have to say that I absolutely love this photo. Beautiful composition, and lovely pastel colors.
I looked at Pat's version, and it's definitely a lot more contrasty than the original upload... Some people would probably prefer the "corrected" version. On my (calibrated) monitor, the original is, (I suspect) more accurate. It seems that in the digital age that we live in, our perception dictates that the more saturated an image is, the better. I try very hard not to fall in that trap, and at times fail.
Roy, I'm glad that you refrained from boosting saturation and contrast. This is much more natural and pleasing. In my humble opinion, this is a wall-hanger. Well done!

To be honest, I don't like it overly contrasty and over-sharpenned. The full resolution file looks nice and sharp and detailled after a tad of unsharp mask and pushing the contrast/gamma up too high doesn't look good on my (calibrated) monitor. The oranges turn red, and the greens turn black.

Great colors, how could you not pull over and take a shot? 6
I can't help myself from tweaking. A little Gamma correction and unsharp mask is PS
