Pseudo Simmons makeup is done very well - when you love someone a tribute is a delight.

Performance is over

Performance is over & so the Mime sleeps...delightful whimsy surrounded by reflections including an unintentional specular heart highlight - my only suggestion might be a tighter crop as my view keeps going back to the passersby on the right.

Methinks the Pumpkin King has a certain red cousin...Artfully fierce!

Missing Marcel

Comment:
This is a highly emotive tribute to a great Master still missed. There is grief and sadness in Loss but there is also Learning & a universal unspoken Connection. Superb photograph & hands down my favourite in this challenge. The face is silent but the message is still very clear - honour what has been lost & go on.

High Rise Mailroom

Comment:
I like the curvature & repeating elements of the very red mailboxes juxtaposed against the black floor in which they are reflected broken up by the lower left centre lines in yet another direction. Between contrasting colours & lines, this is a real eyecatcher & a joy to view.

Post-Storm Beauty

Comment:
This is a superb photograph. I love the juxaposition of colours, tones, textures, crisp raindrops,symmetry & balance. It is still & invites study & review & it is at the same time diagonally dynamic. Kudos all around on this beautiful Autumn sonata, one of my definite favourites.

Acorn Doesn't Fall Far From My Front Door - 47 Steps

Magnificent texture in the macro acorn, even the one small nick on the left. It has given me a new perspective on common things.

Patio Pond
by CJinCA

Comment:
The death of one single red Autumn leaf casually held by a small pond is a memorable study of diverse textures & myriad colours. The subtle rainbows of the rocks blend well with the darker eddies of the quiescent water furnishing last life to the leaf slowly crumbling into pieces. This is beautiful.

Furry Creature

A cute, young, thin-tailed critter who seems to be eyeing the photographer with an extremely aware knowledge. Fall is here - can you spare a nut please? Great emotive crisp portrait set off well by the blurred background.

The Gathering
by banmorn

Comment:
Earthtones with a touch of red, gold & green - this is so well defined that you can almost hear the crackle of the dried up leaves underfoot. Each is unique and beautiful seperately yet each blends together to make a balanced cohesive whole of darks & lights, shapes & textures. The gathering of Autumn is very well done against the patch of smooth definition on the lower left.
