Autumn Foliage in Colour

If you want to be noticed you must at all costs find a personal and creative vision of whatever theme is submitted to us. This is the reason why I really appreciate this photograph which, through the composition of a triptych, correctly interprets the keywords of the competition theme: variety of colors, leaves, autumn.

I don't really like post production and the transformation of the photographic image, but in this case I feel compelled to make an exception for the fantastic chromatic range, the elegance of the composition and the delicacy of the final result which expresses very well the concept that I wanted it to be rendered with the photographs of the contest.

This picture is not full of colours; on the contrary it is quite a monochrome. What captured my attention and drove my judgement is the fact the the few coloured leaves present in the picture cover the whole autumnal foliage palette. The picture is original, creative, formally and technically perfect and because of all these characteristics it deserve the first place

in just one leaf this picture condenses all the beauty of the autumnal colours. the greens, the yellows and the reds draws a map that recall to my memory some infrared photographs taken to show the different temperature levels on a surface. The veins of the leaf look like rivers which carry the lymph into each single cell I like it very much

I really appreciate this photograph because it introduces a very original level of creativity thanks to an excellent production and post production technique. The wood becomes evanescent and the trunks lose their hardness and their physical consistency to the advantage of the leaves that diffuse a soft light and a very harmonious feeling typical of autumn foliage
