Connie. I really like the painted feel of this image. The curved fence line is great, the warm fall colors and bright patches of open grass are so inviting. I want to just stroll down that fence line. I don’t think the sky needs any brighter blues. I think that might take away from the painting look. You might consider taking out the little bits of dark branch intruding on the URC, and the darker leaves hanging down in the same area. If I were you I’d print it big, sign it and hang it.
This is a lovely image that really says Fall, and also makes good use of the fence as leading line (Literally). My only nit would be that the bright patch near the end of the path is, perhaps, a little too bright. It looks like its very slightly blown out.
I’m not sure about darkening it, though. I do think its important for that part of the image to be bright in order to draw the viewer along the path, but you might try toning it down very slightly
I really like this image, and having just been to the Tetons when they were socked in I can really appreciate this. I love the leading line and the color palette. I don’t think the sky needs anymore blue. It is a nice soft counterpoint to the gold of the foliage. It is indeed a place I would love to walk through.
This Fence’s meandering is fantastic. I love how it dips behind the trees and then resumes heading to the upper left . It leave me with a sense of a journey I WANT to take… The reddish oranges in the foreground really anchor the image. I love the color tone of the image… it’s just fantastic.
Lovely image! I love the lighting here. I don’t think you need more blue in the sky, but maybe a little highlight reduction up there would be nice. My thought on images often relate more to what might have been done in the field vs in processing. For me the wandering fence is magic, but I cant help but wonder if you might have found a perspective that helping it move more from right to left instead of the bulk of it being right down the middle. Of course I cant see what may or may not have been over there. Could have been anything from a swamp to a steaming bear pile! Regardless, the tones and composition as it is are lovely and well seen!
Ooo I like that idea of toning dow those highlights on TL! Would allow more focus on the highlight at the back of the meadow.
For me, the story of the fence is it holding back the trees on the R, to allow the space for you to walk along it to the back of the meadow. It seems the R trees are leaning out over the fence a bit to its fellows, wishing they could fill in that space & join their buddies. My story telling brain…
