Lake of the Clouds in the Porcupine Mountains State PArk in Upper Michigan.

Hopefully the color will be like this this weekend when we go up there.

This might benefit from a touch of contrast - the midtones seem a little flat. But that's a whole lot of fall color! I really like the sense of depth and repetition here. Looks like there might be snow up in the UP this weekend...

I agree with Matt here. The color looks a bit washed out to me.

I agree the colors seem a bit flat. I wish I could see all the detail that I know is in the slide.

Agree on the contrast. I like the expansive view.

Ditto about the color and contrast here, but the scene is great when you look beyond that. Please give this a touch up in PS and post it again! That carpet of trees is amazing - never seen anything like it!
