Actually the full image, not presented here, was so busy, I kept looking for simplicity...
Showing the most severe crop first...Hope you find this interesting.

I’d take the last one and crop off the bottom till the top of the yellow bush and a bit off the top.

Moonbridge shots - with a nice set of fall leaves. The first two images are almost a little too simple given the rich scene at hand. The third one is nice but I keep wanting to see a little more of the fall colors that are trying to poke into the frame. That bring me to the last one which is my pick of the bunch. Disclaimer - I have that same shot in fall colors myself and its always been one of my favorites.

The last one is my favorite, Zeph then the next to last. I like the Japanese maples which give a nice punch of color to the scene. They both have a nice leading line with the small stream. Good job.

Never been there, but my favorite is the last one too.

Wow Zeph, this is a fun thread here. It's interesting to see the same scene represented with the different compositions and crops.

#3 is my choice, I really like that one.

I'll try that, thanks...

I favor no.3 but it was a tough choice. They are all very nice Zeph.

3 followed by 4, but all are nice.

The last two are the best, between those two I would go for the last.
