Autumn Scenes in Colour

An interesting image using the abandoned rail track covered in fallen leaves to draw the eye in to the scene.. Good use of light, highlighting the beautiful colours of Autumn as the track disappears in to the woods. I notice an aperture of f/4.5 has been used which has reduced the depth of field, leaving the background lacking detail. This may have been intentional. An alternative would have been to increase the detail for the whole length of the track by using a smaller aperture. For this type of image your Nikkor DX Lens performs well between 18-50mm and f/5.6-11 so lots to play with. Great Shot and worthy of a commendation.

Beautiful image well composed, capturing the bird on the tree trunk and Autumn leaves as they have turned rustic brown. Images like this take time and patience. Managing light in this situation is always difficult particularly with a long lens and limited aperture. Considering a high ISO @ 1600 has been used to get a fast enough shutter speed to capture this tiny fast moving bird, there is little or no graining. Well done.

There are some landscapes where it is difficult to determine with confidence the season, however having visited Llanddwyn myself recently I am more than happy to commend this image. This is a barren Island with a distinct lack of vegetation. The hike from the car park is a long one and you have to be aware of the tide. The light / colours are that of Autumn and the composition good using the rocky outcrop on the opposite side of the pathway to frame the image. There is a slight halo around the lighthouse which I assume is as a result of using the 'dodge' tool to lighten this area. However overall this is a nice entry.

I love this image, particularly knowing its history, having been taken on film and then scanned. A beautiful serene scene, depicting the reflected colours of Autumn and the boat or punt adding interest close to shore. Nice entry worthy of a commendation.

This scene has so much potential with the river, bridge and court house bathed in Autumn coloured ivy as subjects. In this composition due to the choice of shooting angle the scene is a little flat. There is no EXIF data but the river and sky suggest a long exposure has been used. Positioning the camera nearer the bridge if possible could have used the bridge itself as a leading line in to the court house as the main subject and using the 'rule of 1/3' to check the balance of composition would also have worked. I love the location and scene and will certainly mark this area down as a 'must photograph' on my next visit to North Wales. Well Done !

What a great image! Again I am prepared to give the Photographer / Pilot the benefit of doubt that it was taken in Autumn. As an enthusiastic Drone pilot myself I can appreciate what it took to fly, compose and capture this beautiful scene. Wind and weather are also important factors as is the 15 minutes or so of battery flight time on the DJI. Well done!
