Caumsett IV

OK, so here's what you have been looking for!  Beautiful Fall color!  Finally.  What's interesting is that I did not see a lot of scenes like this that would make an interesting photograph.  So may of the trees were either bare, or had not changed color yet, so after a couple of hours hiking, I was thrilled to find this.  I spent some time composing and then shooting this and was happy with the composition and the photograph.  But then...

I was carefully looking at what I was photographing and realized that maybe I should shoot a horizontal photograph.  It seemed to me that the essence of this scene was the black trunks and the beautifully back lit yellow leaves.  This may be the important part of the photograph above.  I don't know, though.  Which one do you like better?
