Autumnal Atmosphere

Autumn is not all about a sea of vibrant reds and yellows. There is a wonderful period where the seasons are changing where just a hint of colour appears, captured brilliantly in this shot. We love the painterly atmosphere and receding detail, into the mist, while the colour range is natural and restrained. Very nicely captured indeed. Well done!

We love a walk in the park or forest this season and this simple frame sums up why. It captures each of the elements we associate with autumn in one shot - colour, misty haze and beautiful lighting. The shot is well structured and draws us into the scene. An effective classic.

We love the balance of colours and tones in this shot, which definitely hits the brief of Autumnal Atmosphere. The lighting and composition ideally match the tone of the shot and deliver an image which conveys the feeling of being out and about on autumn day. Nicely seen and captured.

This couldn't scream autumn more if it tried! It would have been tempting to just focus on the colour, but we appreciate how the photographer waited for a clear subject to appear on the road, giving the eye somewhere to settle once it passes under that vibrant, fiery archway of leaves.

A classic view of a spectacular subject. This shot of Yosemite is one of the most recognised views in the USA, so capturing something new is a challenge. However the photographer has managed to introduce a sense of change with the autumnal colour, while maintaining a technically perfect and natural exposure. Ansel Adams would no doubt approve.

We always appreciate a new take on a brief and this shot is just what we mean by this, while it does not force the autumnal theme, the colour is definitely there in the frame and the muted tones convey the cold and wetter days found on autumnal walks with your four legged companion. The eye contact really creates winning a connection too.

Another subtle and restrained take on the autumn colour, this atmospheric shot contrasts the yellows well against the other tones in the scene. The exposure is well managed under tricky conditions and the lighting is superb. A classic woodland composition which gets the job done nicely. Well done.

We're certain this scene would look good in any season, but it is certainly complemented by the frame of autumnal colours. The composition is uncomplicated and leads us nicely to the clear main subject, which is well exposed and perfectly placed. An effective and lovely scene to inspire the imagination.

We saw a lot of landscapes this round, but sometimes it's nice to look more closely. This detail shot really fits the brief and perfectly captures the colours, detail and atmosphere of the season. We love the out of focus areas too, revealing just enough detail to provide context while giving the scene as a whole an impressionist style. Nicely done.

What a view! This has to be one of the most photographed islands in Europe, but we never get tired of seeing it from a fresh perspective. The exposure, colour, framing and lighting all come together to create an oil painting-like theme which truly captures the sensation of autumn days.

Hide and reveal is a common photo and cinema technique and this shot demonstrates its power well. This season is about unpredictable, changeable weather as much as it is about colour, so this composition, with its autumn hues partially hidden behind a veil of fog, captures the atmosphere precisely. A minimalist and eye-catching shot. Congratulations.
