Craig, very beautiful images you’ve shared—pumpkins or not! I love the “Keyhole” image and well named too. Gorgeous image, love the oranges and blues. Very nice and a favorite. I really like “Landing Strip” and another perfect title. (By the way, do the titles occur to you in the field or later when processing the files?) “Fall’s Splendor Lingers” is another perfect title for a gorgeous landscape captured between two seasons. Very nice and another favorite. “8:30 Interlude” is a gorgeous landscape. I like the composition’s balance capturing much of the evening sky above the “earth sculpture” below. Very nice and a definite favorite. I like “Autumn Cliche’” image—interesting title and image as well. Love the reflection! “Over Too Soon” is another favorite—for the between season capture and its perfect title. Very nice. Thank you for sharing Craig!I don't know about favorites, but I tried to find either taken in October or with red and orange somewhere. I could not find any pumpkins though...

Alan, love your “favorites”—thank you for sharing each of these beauties! I LOVE the sunset in Bandon! Beautiful color and composition and a definite favorite. I also favor the Otter Crest waves crashing into the cliffs image—great shutter speed capture resulting in a memorable image and definitely a favorite. Alternatively, the serene scene at Crown Point is an equally successful composition. The viewpoint of river and its flow into the scene creates a perfect composition—love the egret(?) captured perfectly in this image! Very nice and a definite favorite. The Upper Antelope Canyon image is another well seen scene—perfect composition. (Love the branch’s position.) A definite favorite too! I also love the Portland Gardens image with the arching branches and gorgeous autumn leaves bordering the small monument beyond. Nice. Thanks Alan for sharing each of these!A few favorites through the years.

I used to do that titling sporadically, on a whim, but them a lot of people liked them, so I kept adding. They just come to me, when I process the files. I don't think about them. Some work, some don't!(By the way, do the titles occur to you in the field or later when processing the files?)
I’ve always been impressed how appropriate your titles are—and I’ve always been impressed by the images themselves. Again thanks for sharing each of them.Thanks John!

Ken, thank you for the visual ”treat”—very nice! Love the stream and orange foliage! Very nice! This image resembles areas within the Smoky Mountains here in East Tennessee.Today in Scotland. I haven’t brought a laptop with me so this is just the thumbnail that my camera downloads onto my phone, fairly orange.Ken

Jeffrey, gorgeous “favorites” you have chosen for this Task. Thank you for sharing each of them too. I love the first image’s composition and colors captured. Very nice! I concur with your sentiment that you still love the second image—ME TOO! It is perfect in every respect and my favorite of these you’ve shared today. Very nice! The Kyrgyzstan landscape is a gorgeous B&W image—love the layers of sky, mountains, and water—with reflections. Nice composition. The Patagonia landscape is another interesting composition—and gorgeous image. Quite the timely capture of the colorful cloud above the central peak adding to its grandeur. Very nice. Thank you for sharing each of these favorites Jeffery!After a lifetime of photographing, It's hard to find my favorites, or even remember them!
This one embodies what the southwest is all about, for me:
