What did you do to get those great reds? How much post-processing did you do?
I really didn't have to do much, God took care of the colors this year (Probably the best display in the 29 years I've lived here.)
Original SOOC is below. All I did was increase exposure some, lower the highlights, increase the shadows a bit, added just a touch of Vibrance, & played with the Tone Curve Sliders. I didn't touch the HSL/Color Panel at all ... didn't have to. Then I removed the trucks & buildings on the right.
I've always loved this barn since I discovered it, but this is definitely my best shot of it.

In my humble opinion this is the most beautiful image of the fall I have seen this year so far.
I thank you & I really like your opinion!
Thanks to all for looking & commenting on this.
Most of the success of this shot was truly in The Lord's hands. He's the One that created everything but the barn. I just took advantage of that, remembered where this barn was, and got off my duff to go & try to get a good shot of it. Plus, 50+ years of trial & error.
