Fall colors - with little to no snow I'm starting to miss the colors

Nice set, Armand.
I know the feeling. No snow or colors here in the U.S. Northeast either.

Thanks Eric, it’s forcing me to go back to older shots and I discover nice ones that I forgot to finish. No wonder I have way too many photos, and I think it’s too late for any significant culling now.

Armand, on my screen all these image are quite soft, is there a reason for this? I understand you have the Nikon Z7 with 45 meg files, could this be factor?

While I had the Z7 with me all these shots were taken with a Sony RX10iv. Not the sharpest shots to start with and I made of point in postprocessing to go for a slightly softer look but I don't think they are that bad. Here is a 100% screenshot from one of them.
They are also quite compressed, first two being shot at 300+ mm equiv while the last two were taken at 85mm and 120mm. Overall I think they should be good enough for at least a 13x19.

PS. for reference, the above crop's long edge is 14% of the original size
