Ok, let's try this again. I had originally posted another picture, but after seeing it on here I really did not like the quality of it. I am going to play around with it some more. You can see it here and make any suggestions on my photography blog if you want to. And maybe I am just being too critical...
This picture was taken last month of my daugher on the day we went to the apple orchard and I loved it. I played around with it in Lightroom a bit, but I would love some help with brightening up those beautiful dark eyes.

This next picture doesn't really say Fall, but it was taken in October so I am going with it! We were at a friend's birthday party on their farm. This little boy was taking Maggie over to the tire swing and I caught this moment. Of course, I had to play in Lightroom and I am pretty sure that I used one of Rebecca's presets...maybe Retro World...I can't remember. Anyway, it is a bit oversatured, but I liked it that way.

That's a beautiful picture. Something I discovered with some dark eyes last night was, after doing the unsharp mask of all the eye, lashes & brows (standard really), I then re-masked (on a new layer) JUST the inside of the eye. I made it a 'additon' layer (PSE7 calls it 'linear dodge' I think) and then lowered the opacity to blend it down. It worked really well :D Worth a try anyway!
