Jack McH

 

1. Derelict - Sheal. Well composed, has a real autumnal feel to it.

2. Southern Cemetery - Kris. A very striking image.

3. Pair of Mushrooms - Ryland j. Interesting subject, simple but effective.

 

1.Chris "The Southern Cemetery". What a magnificent Guard of Honour for the recently departed. Well captured in its finest Autmn dress.
2. Sheal "Derelict". A lovely glimps of days past. I love those sombre Autumn colours.
3) Jack "Autumn Walk". Discreetly captures those two lasses in a private moment of their conversation. Wonderful Autumn hues and a good feeling of space and scale too.

 

1. Lifting The Gloom - Trunky. Lovely detail on this shot, it's great to see nature giving us such bright colour this time of year.

2. Autumn Walk - Jack McH. A depth and clearness brings out the autumn colours as my eyes are led up through the picture.

3. Broom Hill - WiseOldOwl. There was something about this picture that drew me to it that I can't put my finger on. A typical autumn scene of leaf gathering.

 

1. Jack McHammocklashing - Autumn Walk. Covered in autumn leaves/colour, the pathway leads through this scene in a semi curve/diagonal, the diagonal line of trees help to strengthen that pathway and lead you up to the couple out walking (can you hear the swish and crunch?) Full of texture this shot and compositionally excellent!

2. Kris Lord - The Southern Cemetry. Portrait mode shows the magnificance of this shot which is naturally framed by the first two trees in it, straight and symmetrical the leaf strewn pathway leads your eye up through the trees into the autumnal foliage. Great shot Kris.

3. wiseoldowl - Broom Hill. Another strong composition here with the diagonal line of trees, the gardener and wheelbarrow add interest to the piled leaves and great autumnal colour from those yet to fall.
