Nice shot, perhaps a triffle dark but then this just adds to the atmosphere.
Hello, Xiaoli. A nice autumnal scene with the tree reflected in the puddle, a pathway lead-through and a very attractive sky. Your image is quite dark on my screen, and I think your camera has exposed for the sky, leaving the rest of the image underexposed. I have done a modification where I firstly straightened the image using the tree trunk and its reflection as my straightening line. I reduced highlights (for the sky), lifted shadows (for the land), increased saturation (for the colours), then adjusted levels. I used the burn tool on the white sky area, selectively saturated the golds, then slightly sharpened with high pass sharpen. I have put this mod on your "Evening in the Street of Lincoln" picture.

Good composition and I kinda agree with Pamela. It appears a bit dark in the fg and mid distance. It could be something you could alter in PS just to 'brighten' it up a little. I appreciate the weather conditions were not very helpful. in fact round here it is awful as well. Ducking in and out between the showers (very heavy). Paul
Thank you very much Pamela for your very helpful comment and MOD.There is lot of work you put in, thank you so much.
Thank you very much Paul for your helpful commment as well.
Thank you very much Athur for your helpful comment, I thought to brighten it up the light a bit, but the whole aera would be lighten up, I didn't think to dodge it. Very helpful indeed.
Thank you all for your kind and helpful comments.
