No. As to "interesting colors" I meant it in a positive manner. The colors are great.

Excellent, a rather Pre-Raphaelite vibe.
I'm curious about your workflow, though, especially what you're calling the "HDR" aspect. I'm imagining, say, three separate bracketed exposures that you apply layer masks to in order to brush-in your dodge/burn edits. At any rate, a great use of a long focal length...
Yes -- excellent! A wonderful use of color as part (just about all, really) of the composition. Love the way the pink form on the left color-contrasts with the green form of the right, with both being contrasted by the white in the middle. All tied together by the red leaves (left-over fall maple leaves?)

Thank you
The "HDR" refers to blending of 3 bracketed exposures of each segment of the film during digitisation and stitching. I just merge all the files to an "HDR panorama" in Lightroom, then make my RAW adjustments from there. I only do this with slide film. At base ISO the D810 I use for digitisation has a dynamic range of over 14 stops, so it is capable of recording the entire Dmax range of even Velvia 50 with a single exposure, however I have found that having an extra couple of stops of information provided by a blended HDR raw helps to reproduce accurate shadow and highlight detail of the original (especially the highlights).
Many thanks.
Those deep crimson-purple leaves are not left over from Autumn, as this was shot in early May. That is just their colour; I believe the tree is a "Crimson King" acer, but am not 100% sure.

Excellent, it must take a bit of horsepower to handle those files! Otherwise, it's a great study.
