firey end to summer

The color, especially in the sky, looks unnaturally oversaturated. Oversaturation also pulls out a lot of detail once the colors start becoming out-of-gamut.

Indiana Autumn

Comment:
I wish this wasn't cropped so tight so I could have more context on the scene. A slightly longer shutter speed would have blurred the water, leaving the bulk of the texture in the leaves, which are the topic of the challenge (as opposed to water).

Autumnal Wreath

Comment:
I'm not sure what the wreath is hanging on. At first, I thought it was a car, in which case I would have wanted to see the car, but now it looks like a vent on a house, which I don't want to see. If it's a vent, maybe you could use a shallower depth of field to blur the background so the lines are texture instead of something that makes the viewer wonder what everything is behind it.

I think the bright spots in the sky are a little distracting. Cropping them out lets the river lead the eye to the bridge.

Forest Palette

I love the blanket of color on the floor, but I can't help but wish there was something else to help anchor my eye. My eyes follow the path, but at the end, there's nothing to hold me there.

Golden Fall

I love the color, but wish there was the slightest bit more contrast, just to bring out the detail in the treetops.

Fall Pasture

The brightness of the sky and sky's reflection compete for attention with the horse. i think that if you brought the sky andthe reflection down in tone, it would have placed more focus on the horse.

Autumnal Robe

Comment:
It looks like the sun is still pretty high in the sky. If you waited a little longer, just until when the light turns gold, it would have painted the buildings to match the foliage and made the scene look more like autumn, IMO.
