Going for:
1. warm, golden glow
2. rough textures
3. being enveloped by the forest, finding my way to the light
Suggestions and edits are welcomed! Thanks so much.

#1 is a quite beautiful study of Autumn colours in all its glory. Simple and majestic love the light center which leads the eye in.
2 and 3 have no appeal to me simply because Im not sure heavy use use of filters can improve nature. Yes it shows it in a different way and whether that enhances what Mother Nature gave us is a matter of individual taste.
I think most would be proud of shot #1 as you should be.

Number one is hugely appealing, warm, the use of light in it perfectly done. One of the best fall leaf shots I've seen this year.
Number two I also like very much, and not just the textures, but also in the monochrome, a great choice here, especially with the birch or aspen background.
Third one to me is a number one wannabe. It's pretty, but doesn't have quite the warmth or appeal of the first. But that one would be hard to beat.

With your stated intention I thought the shot had unexplored potential.

Thank you all so much for taking the time to offer your opinions and suggestions! Greatly appreciated. Now...all the leaves are gone and the sky is gray...

I like number one is a special way. It is jigsaw puzzle material! The soft glow and clean patterns are very effective.

Thank you, Piet! My mother was enthralled with jigsaw puzzles; I have no patience

what is appealing about #3 is the bits of blue scattered here and there. Its complementary to the yellow & orange and makes it eye stopping

Love #1 and RG's edit and it - both are valid, magical versions that exude the golden light we connect with autumn. The other two are pleasant but I'm not a fan of the processing of the last one. It's a look I've attempted at times and always given up on, so maybe it's just me. The second one makes me wonder if the leaves are gold and what they would look like against that papery white bark.
