 I know everyone's going to be looking for Autumn photographs and golden brown colours, but I figured I wasn't going to sit out of this one just because
I live in the southern hemisphere!

I'll probably lose a few points because of that, but I do hope that people realise that foliage simply means plants and leaves collectively.

Adjustments as follows:

RAW adjusted and cropped in Aperture
USM
Topaz Adjust with "Exposure Colour Stretch" preset
Vibrance layer to increase vibrance and saturation

I appreciate that you were not dissuaded by the seemingly geographical limitation of the challenge, and responded with an entry worth looking at for a while. Very good.

There appears to be some lensflare that doesn't help the composition here. The coloration and contrast of the foliage looks a bit flat as well. Adding more pop would've made the foliage fit more with the color and definition of the sky/buildings.
