This photo looked like crap when I first taken it. Took me 2 hours of post processing and still the results is terrible. I think all my photos that are taken in China sucks compared to the ones in Turkey. The chromartic abberation is terrible and I couldnt fix it in RAW.
As you can see, I added some black vignetting and a low gradient. I had also used a yellow orange filter to neutralize the effect. The photo was much to cyan and green when it was first converted. And a purple gradient at the top
I wouldn't recommend this as a print because the sharpening is terrible.

China seems to have nature preserved from pollution and property developers... Let's hope it will last ! Very well captured !

Thats an irony statement. Because China is the mass producer of pollution in the other hand.

Is it? But I wanted it to stand out. I dont really get to see yellow and red leaves in my country. I thought it would be special.

Hmm, I don't so much mean the branch on the right which exhibits the leaves (which are quite nice indeed), but rather that black silhouette of a branch to the left; although, if you took it out then it would feel a little unbalanced with the branch to the right - but then if you removed that too, the picture would be empty, & as you say it would also lose that special touch. It's a hard thing to critique.

I like how you have presented the water's reflection, and the colors.

If memory serve me right, the place where you took the photos have very lovely scenaries...you surely didn't do any justice to it. Prehaphs some technique brushing up would be necessary? Try converting it to IR/ b/w to mask your flaws?
