The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.
Description
One last autumn image from Blackwater Falls SP in WV; unless I find some more; before I move on to something else. As I have mentioned before, I try to catch the fall colors a little past peak; after some leaf drop; as the viewer is afforded some wonderful glimpses into the surrounding woodland. I very much enjoy seeing the details and textures of the tree trunks and limbs as well as some colorful leaf structure. This particular view was found along one of the Blackwater Canyon walls. It was a misty rainy day with subdued light; perfect for showcasing the lovely vibrant colors of the fall season.
Specific Feedback
How do the colors and crop look to you? I kept the fall colors subdued as they were starting to fade. Anything else you notice please feel free to mention it.
Technical Details
Nikon Z 7, Nikon Z 100-400 @ 300 mm, f 11 @ 1/20 sec, ISO 100, Kase magnetic CPL, cable release & tripod.
This is nice, Ed. Even though your last autumn hillside scene was nice, I think the composition and placement of the trees and colors come together much better in this one. Touche
This meets the goal well Ed. It is enough color go sing fall, but I like that it’s a bit more 3 dimensional as the leaves begin to drip. I agree with @Michael_Lowe that this one’s even better.
Mission accomplished. Great composition and really good balance with colors and textures. The crop and the colors look perfect to me. They are softly muted as would be expected in post peak conditions and I think you nailed that perfectly. I might tone down the bright trunk coming out of the top of the largest red tree near the top of the frame and maybe some of those branches going out of the frame in the very upper left portion of the frame but other than that, I have nothing that might help. Beautiful image, Ed!
