About the Image(s)
I found this composition near a local park one morning in September. I thought the yellow leaves against the blue sky would make a good image. It was edited with Snapseed to reduce the highlights - like the white fence - and to increase the vibrance. I cropped the image and flipped it horizontally to put the fence on the left side. Robert

I always enjoy your attraction to strong lines. This one leads us into the grove of lovely trees.The two big, mostly bare, areas (sky and grass) balance well. Nicely done. Posted: 11/06/2024 18:43:26
The fence works so well to take us into the image. Nice scene with good detail in the grass. Posted: 11/09/2024 13:07:42
Robert, Simple and Beautiful. You caught colors in just a natural way that if is a winner. With a little cropping, it could become a Post Card. Jerry Posted: 11/11/2024 20:01:32

I love your use of the fence as a leading line. It's a lovely photo. You might want to crop it a little to showcase the vibrancy of the trees. Posted: 11/12/2024 15:29:17
You make a good point. I cropped it with a little more fence than it needed. So, less fence and more trees and sky might have been better. Thanks!

Beautiful example of fall in a pastoral setting. Using the leading line of the fence works well. I agree with Rita in maybe less fence and sky to put more of the focus on the fall trees. Posted: 11/17/2024 20:03:48
Thank you. It was a great day to be out. As the saying goes, "A fence is a photographer's friend," but maybe I used too much of it in this case.

The colors are what make this image shine for me . The brilliant white fence as leading line. The vibrant orangish, yellow fall leaves and the brilliant blue sky. Composition also well thought out. On a tangent I'm getting tired of blue skies as New Jersey has had endless parade of blue, cloudless skies with not a drop of rain for over a month. Posted: 11/17/2024 21:33:51
Thank you, Lynne.
Ordinarily I wouldn't wish inclement weather for someone, but I hope you get some sort of precipitation soon.
