A walk in autumn

[David Paterson]

When autumn changes come along, they come fast. Three images from this morning's dog-walk.

[Mike G]

I like no1 best, because of all the green!

[Andrea B.]

Very complex! But with nice underlying compositions.

[Frank Fremerey]

The first one has a wonderful sense of depth.

#3 has some crazy Asteroid field feel to is. Very wide angle in the near field?

[David Paterson]

Thanks, all three

Mike - #1 is my own favourite, but I have to re-shoot it because it's not really sharp enough to make a big print, which I would like to do.

Andrea - I sort of save up shots like these for a dull day which intensifies the colour but also avoids the further complication of hard shadows.

Frank - yes, the 18-35mm AFS G at 18mm and closest focussing distance.

David, all 3 are beautiful capture! #1 is beyond description, it's so soothing to look at. #3 - if you stare at the photo, it give a sense of motion indeed.

I can understand that Dave, if it were me which it ain't I would crop out some of the right hand side as I find the fallen? tree to be at odds with the rest of the picture!

[David Paterson]

Thanks, Anirban - you are very kind.

Mike - sorry to disagree, but for me that fallen tree-trunk adds a note of tension and query to an otherwise very straightforward picture. It's a minor point but often details like this make an image that is more than just ordinary. And in this specific case, the balance of the image would be changed completely - spoiled, in fact - by cropping the RHS. Those are my feelings, anyway.

All images are good but the first one is wonderful!

The tree on #1 is gorgeous !
