Fear of missing out, or pokemon hunt ?

Pokemon Go seems to be challenging the beauty of diversity of the world.  The "ignored" autumn colors looks so enticing and precious.

Well said, Armando!

Yes. Nice catch, Airy.  Reminds me to use the 28/1.8G more often ;)

Yes, that lens has got no prestige, but it is very sharp with intense colors. In the shot, I only tweaked the blue channel, and the cyan somwhat too, to darken the sky. Incidentally, some pants were also darkened. The rest is left as is, in a beautiful light that "made" the shot.

Armando, that area is a recent public garden that redeems the "concretizing" otherwise affecting my city. It is not, unfortunately, open night and day, so with winter saving time coming, I'll no longer be able to bring those shots except on weekends. The garden is on my way to the train station.
