Shootng Fall Colors

Manito Park in Spokane, Washington is one of my favorite locations for shooting fall colors. As you can see with this image, an unsuspected photographer made this shot possible.

What an inviting scene. Love the symmetry of the benches and the colors, especially the blue jacket with the leaves.
I bet he got a pretty good shot too!

The colors are splendid, of course, Rick, and I like the way the photographer is situated just at the point where the road begins to wind up toward the right, so that one's eye is led from the photographer into the "back" of the picture. Great capture!

Superb textures, Rick, in the bark and leaves, and the composition works well - love especially those leaning and curving trunks and the view down the pathway. Very nice image !!

Nice shot of the shot, Rick! I like how you used the two benches to frame the photographer. Because of the symmetry, the centered subject works very well.

I can see why this would be a favoriate location of yours! That winding road through the leaves shedding their colored leaves in the fall could make for some fantastic photography. Looks like other photogs agree with you, too. :smile: Great comp in this image, Rick, with the symetry of the benches, the winding road, the photographer placement, and the wonderful mixture of colors. So nice he was wearing blue. . .makes a nice contrast to all the warm colors in this scene.

What a great set of colors, Rick. The golden leaves really set off the green grass and the photog's blue jacket.
