So very true. Lots of NE has towns with commons like these that dress up for Autumn and we have lots of really nice old graveyards. I like the way you took the shot through the the lovely tree bough.
Perfect the way you framed the church with the tree's foliage! I think I would have cropped in a little left and right, though. Take a bit from the heaviness of the trunk and get rid of the stray headstones on the right. Just MHO. Good eye for capturing New England's peace and quiet.
I love it just the way it is. I like your POV and with that trunk over on the left, it's perfect for my array of icons. Since I live here, I get to see this all the time, but somehow not quite in the way that you, as an artist, saw it. I sure miss fall...November is..well...bleak!
We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"
