Henry Zhang from New York, United States

Beautiful. I don't have anything to critique (and that's quite amazing).

@Henry Zhang: Thanks so much, Henry. I could take a stab, though... yellow is a bit over-saturated, focus is a bit soft...C'mon, you can get the hang of this :-)

H.O from Victoria, Canada

Very beautiful and rich colors. nice work Damon-san.
Have a nice weekend !! :)

Florence from France

That's a very nice picture. Sunny !! :-)

@Florence: Many thanks. Check out Florence's work, everyone. She has some amazing stuff. I particularly like the birds - les p'tits oiseaux.

Chris Sullivan from Melbourne, Australia

Well taken; love the reflections off the water in the foreground.

@Chris Sullivan: Thanks Chris. That was quite a day; I've never seen such puddles.

Colour blind from Tokyo, Japan

A sea of leaves...what better way to end autumn than with a blanket of it's colours. Fantastic job with this picture I love the detail and the colours. Excellent work!!

@Colour blind: Thanks, Kelley. This one was supersaturated. Wouldn't you know it, just when I start a series of rainy day photos, we had our first real snowfall here. It was all gone by the afternoon, but it was snow, at least.

Darren from Tokyo, Japan

Excellent capture there. Just great how the leaves are floating on the water and continue on into the distance.

2 Dec 2006 10:15am

@Darren: Thanks, Darren. It wasn't like that everywhere, but I was able to find a vantage point where it seemed so through the camera's lens.

Addey from United Kingdom

Yellow, yellow, everywhere! I love it!

2 Dec 2006 10:50am

@Addey: Thanks, Addey. I love yellow as well (as you may have noticed in other photos).

Paul Ricciardi from Lexington, United States

Beautiful...nothing else to say

@Paul Ricciardi: Thank you, Paul. That's enough for me.

AJ Kassam from Ottawa, Canada

It feels like they go on forever - which would be fine by me :)

question: did Ms. B the clown (and / or her posse o' monkeys) ever get back to you?

2 Dec 2006 4:24pm

@AJ Kassam: Thanks, AJ! Answer, I don't know the monkeys very well (shudder), but Ms. B. is in contact, and I think she thoroughly enjoyed her day in the sun and the spotlight. Is that what you meant?

Lorenzo from Houston, United States

Martine Lapointe from Québec, Canada

In french, we call the Gingko "Arbre aux mille écus" . It's like a golden's money sea! Superb!

2 Dec 2006 8:44pm

@Martine Lapointe: Merci, Martine! At least I got rich with this image.

Dileep from Toronto, Canada

Well Done. Nice fading from some leaves to all leaves.

2 Dec 2006 9:46pm

@Dileep: Thanks, Dileep. Nature took care of that. I just had to stand in the right place (without getting my feet wet).

Maoya from Rolle, Switzerland

Lovely!!
(p.s thanks for all your comments)

3 Dec 2006 7:13am

@Maoya: Merci!, Grazie!, Danke! (Did I cover Switzerland yet?) Keep shooting those alarmingly anthropomorphic hydrants.
