Autumn Leaves WC-497

Gallery: Weekly ChallengePosted August 24, 2011138 views10 comments

Through two church windows. Stopped at road side stand to buy pumpkins one fall and noticed this old, much painted church. From one side of the church you could see the fall foliage on the other side. Nikon D300, ISO 500, f3.5, S- 1/500.

This is excellent - you have a great eye to have seen this potential.
Great perspective to mis-align the panes so both sidea are seen. Even the colours are perfect - the contrasting orange-ish window trim echoes the fall leaves.
Just exceptional!

Ray,

With the many layers of paint and the way the fall background is rendered blurry, this really resembles a painting. Just so well done on many levels.

Good eye for the shot Ray, always a great photographer's prerequisite

Simple, clean, and effective comp, with the viewers focus right where you want it.
Very nice

Nicely seen. Well composed with some nice color in the window.

Terrific job of seeing and executing! From the thumb, I was trying to figure out how you got leaves reflecting and the interior showing in one picture. The truth is even more fun.

This is simple and elegant - and the rich colors are just stunning... especially against the simple white of the house. This is a study in contrasts - not just the contrasting colors, but also the contrast between the smooth lines of the building, and the riotous foliage behind. Order and chaos. I love it. Well done!

The golden orange against the white paint, along with both sets of curtains make this an eye-stopper to me. Only nit might be just a little bit of pincushion. Very nice!
