Hello October

My heart still goes out to those affected by Katrina and Rita hurricanes.  I hope the recovery is going better than expected and may you be strong during these times of rebuilding/relocation.


I did finally get my polarized filter a while back, just haven't been able to test it out recently due to the lack of any moisture, clouds, shrubbery etc, out here.  It should be great for the upcoming trip though.


Getting ready for another vacation stateside, getting pumped and looking forward to it.  Will be great to share some time with many friends, family, and loved ones.  I am also looking forward to some much needed relaxation.  Only visiting two states this time and also hosting a party to see a lot of close friends.  Of course traveling during this time means I'll also get some winter photos which will be quite beautiful in Colorado, if I decide to go outside at all.  It will take a little for me since my body is acclimated to the desert at sealevel.


I've seen some incredible work recently, a lot of people posting the fall colors and beautiful weather patterns.  Here's a few of most recent favorites.




What's your honest opinion on this?
I am looking for constructive criticism, tips, tricks on the following scrap PS piece:
