Autumn in DC

I was recently in Washington DC and got to experience a bit of Autumn (fall apparently!) colors. I didn't notice the figure is slightly blurred until I uploaded to flickr! It's so difficult to get good help that will keep still.

Hi Suren - I'm not sold sorry - that light is really really bright - I like what it's done on the leaves of the tree but including the light itself makes it too dominant. I'm also not sure if this speaks Autumn to me - my initial reaction was it was the white balance that provided the colour feel and not the autumness

I am surprised that you have not "Suren-d" this image. The lamp dominates the image, detracting from the gentleman under the lamp post, who unfortunately has shifted during the exposure. The colours do look WB contrived as well.

imo, it has merit, however the lack of sharpness in the person kills it, I reckon you could selectively sharpen that area up that would go a long way to improving it. I do like the movement and the way the bright light draws your eye into that part of the image
