I think, Robert, maybe you tried to get it all in and succeeded, to the detriment of the image. There's just too much stuff in the frame for me to be comfortable with. Do you really need that bunch of grass on the left to say what you want the image to say to us? How amny fallen leaves do you need to say "Fall"? Does that wood and brush on the top left contribute to or detract from the image? I think that, if you narrowed the area framed, you get a stronger image: there is a nice image in your frame, you just haven't picked it out perfectly.

There also seems to be a loss of contrast in the image, as if there was a haze over the whole thing. This may be due to your print or the scan, but you should check to see what the cause is.

The cropped shot is MUCH stronger... and very good. jj

Continue to look for the image within the image.
