Some of our MidSouth fall color. The last shot is a redo of an earlier post, in which I applied my interpretation of some of the suggestions I got in the critique section. I like it better than my original.

You live in a beautiful place Aine..
I like very much the way you composed your picture in #1.
#2 is also very nice.

Forgive me but I think the first one can be improved by cropping the lawn on the right which adds no value. I think it works better is you crop about 1/4 of the bottom vertcally. I think that color distrotion technique works best when there is no small detail. The leaves look good--impressionistic. But the ducklings swimming on the pond do not.

I think #2 works quite well. The ducks are easily distinguishable. The silhouette of a duck is well known and easily recognizable - thus lending itself very well to an impressionist treatment.

I like the first in preference to the other two.
The second has a dreamy quality somehow but not my style. Ducks are Canada Geese.
The third I like the angle of shot.

I appreciate your comments everyone. I was pretty excited about the second photo myself, because it got a finalist position in a contest I entered awhile back. Even though it didn’t win, I felt happy that it got some recognition out of about 35,000 photos.

They are all beautiful and I like the warmer tones in the las tone better than the first post. I also feel "the rock" fits better this time. Perhaps the highlights on the rocks are a little too blown though.

I just love the colour in that second photo.
