Thanks to all for the kind words!
Dave, your Dad's right, of course.
Tom -- glad you like that one. I had shot the same scene about an hour earlier and decided to go back for another attempt -- glad I did.
Remco: the sunset itself was nothing special, but those shafts of light through the red and yellow leaves were. Elusive, too; they came and went as the clouds moved by (windy day).
bigted: I really like that one too and only wish I had spent a bit more time over it. If I get another chance with similar light at it I'll look at it from a some different perspectives.
