The sun popped out as I took the second one and changed the shadows a little bit.

I think I prefer the first one, but the second one is also stunning!

Well done!

Next month, the December contest will highlight the fall season; either one of these would make an incredible entry!

Meaning more yellow/golden leaves which balance out the red ones. I love your inspirations!

I absolutely cannot decide between the two so I appreciate your insightful comments. I do like the sun creating shadows on the second one.
