Hues of a spent world

Gallery: FloraPosted November 5, 2010132 views19 comments

Every time I passed through this pine grove for the last 3 years, I wanted to stop and capture something like this. Finally it happened this autumn and probably at a good time when the warm hues are wonderful.

Your thoughts and comments most appreciated.

This is very, very nice. It's a perfect arrangement and the scene seems to have a bit of a warm glow to it. Great work!

Yes, the warm hues are really wamderful! I like the composition too: the diagonal lines find a balance in their opposite directions. Beautiful.
Take care.

Debashis: Terrific find and a superb capture. It's hard to know where to crop shots like this but I'm kind of looking for a bit more room all around to include the full leaves top and bottom. Well done.>=))>
