A Splash of Autumn

Critique Style Requested: Standard

The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.

Description

What first caught my eye with this scene was the close proximity of the green, yellow, orange and red colors all tightly packed together. I thought it represented the progression of the leaf change as it transitioned into the vibrant colors of full blown autumn. This was taken on our last trip to Blackwater Fall SP in WV.

Specific Feedback

Just wondering how the pano format works for everyone? The raw file has a little more at the top, but I decided to crop some of it off due to some areas in the ULC and URC that looked a little bare of color.

Technical Details

Nikon Z7, Nikon 24-200 @ 150 mm, f 11 @ 1/80 sec, ISO 400, Kas magnetic CPL, cable release & tripod.

Ed, the variety of colors is amazing. You’ve also got excellent detail throughout the frame. The limited contrast makes for contemplative viewing, which has me wondering about a slight desat of the red tree on the right. The semi-pano format look good. (How does it fit a 16:9 format, for full frame monitor viewing?)
