Fall 2012
The second one i love the color and i love how you off set it but maybe you off set it just a little too much
If number three is what gary said that maybe you were trying to make the tree in focus to stand out i would make the tree leaves a little more saturated with color or lighten up the tree and maybe add some stuff around it and blur those out so we know you want the tree to stand out
Great job! and Great Colors! can't wait to see more of your work!
I used Tokina 11-16 wide angle for the 1st shot...as for the 2nd shot, I mainly concentrated on the colors as the purple foreground really stood up against the green background, but I see what you mean...
Thanks for the comments...the location isnt going anywhere....and surely fall is going to last few more weeks...so will keep working on it, unless rain becomes the spoilsport!

Nos. 1 & 2 are very nice. Especially the color & composition of #2.
Rain (light rain), or just after it has rained, can actually help. Puts a shine on the leaves & helps with color saturation. Plus those occasional raindrops are an added bonus.
For example, see this series I shot last weekend ...in light rain:

Yeah, you're right. I've been to Seattle three times and it did rain all three times, all the time.
