Very nice fall colors and lights,it's really a pleasant and nice photo.

Beautiful scene indeed,very nice color
and high clarity too.
Nice work.

This is a beauty my dear!...wonderful colourings and tones!...The sun shades are great well captured!

Ariana, that's a very pretty picture with lots of interesting light and shadows. The only thing I would suggest is that, if your camera has a setting for exposure, you should always try taking a couple extra shots at reduced exposure levels (they're usually shown as -1/3, -2/3, etc.). Then you can sort out the best one later. A lower exposure will preserve fine details in the bright areas of the photo (of course, it might require using image-editing software to readjust the levels afterward). The nice thing about digital cameras is that you can always take lots of shots and then toss out the ones you don't like.

Hey Ari,
Greg is right when he talks about exposure, if your camera doesn't support this sort of tweaking, you can edit your image by reducing brightness or playing around with curves,
I'll send you an email with some adjustments, (~8
I really like the way you presented your subject here, it truly stands out, that's what draws attention,
Nicely done,

Thanks for sharing
Warm regards

Hi Ari,

I don't think you did anything wrong here. The exposure of the trees and greenery is spot on and if you turned down the exposure it would take away from that. This is just one of those situations where the difference in "luminocity" is too much for the camera to figure out. I think the best fix is to stick the camera on a tripod, take a series of different exposures, then combine them in photoshop. There is a decent video tutorial on radientvista.com but if you think that's all a bit too fussy and takes all the spontanaity out of photography then it's just fine how it is :)

Ariana, just to clarify, there are small sections of the grass where the detail has been "blown out" -- in other words, there is no digital data there, and no amount of image editing can recover those blades of grass. So I must disagree with Camerama that the exposure is "spot on" -- and I also disagree that turning down the exposure would "take away from" the image. As I mentioned, underexposure preserves fine details, and it is fairly easy to do a "levels" adjustment with software afterwards -- certainly easier than the whole "tripod-combine in Photoshop" routine. (And there is a free program -- called XnView -- that performs these basic adjustments very well.)

This is a loveley place, and a the photo is also very lovley.
I do agree with the others here about the exposure, and I think you have been getting some very good advice on how to come to terms with that. I think you did a very good job on the presentation.

Beautifully done:)

Makes me want to sit there on the grass :)
