A few from a visit to the National Park gardens at Sheffield Park, East Sussex on Monday. Even with a fairly dull and generally overcast sky the colours of the trees were amazing. All shot with the DA 18-135 and K-5iis.

and I couldn't resist throwing in an abstract for good (or bad!) measure.

Beautiful! A good place to combine with a visit to the Bluebell Railway just down the road.

For me the autumn colours and the reflections are great (and I'm happy to let you keep the last image!).

Cheers.

Some very good angles and compositions there! I especially like No 5 with the low viewpoint across the lillies. Some great colours and you've made the most of the fairly dull light.

My suggestion regarding processing is that they would all benefit from about 0.7 to 1 stops more exposure / brightness.

Nigel - thanks for the suggestion, I'll give it a try.
