Just had this one in the VB and wanted to comment. A very nice shot, the thin wispy clouds create a very unique look. I studied for quite a while in the VB because I couldn't decide if their was a bit of noise in the skyline or if the clouds were so thin it just made it appear that way. I think it's just the clouds. Anyway, I think i may have shifted the focus just a hair more to the right, to get the tree out of the dead center and use the fence on the right as a diagonal to draw the eye into the picture. Just personal taste there. All in all, this is quite the well done shot, the colors and the focus are lovely, seems as if it would be quite the serene spot!
Oh I just love how it looks as tho the clouds are actually coming from the Fall trees. It's as if the little whispy clouds are wind driven...just really a lovely photo. I love how you clustered the trees mostly in the center, but then the fence gave more detail and depth to the whole photo. Plus then there is the little "extra" of the picnic tables.Living in ORegon we have lots of "noise" that just comes along with the clouds, the fog etc..I love it. All in all, this is truly a beautiful photo. Thanx a lot.V
