The trail less traveled-

Darn the third one is Superb. There is so much to like about it. So much colour and the composition. excellent shot.

Hi Mateo,

certainly brings back good memories (originally from Canada). But I don't miss the next of the seasons ;-)

That third shot is beautiful, great colours, can almost smell those crispy leaves.

Thanks,

Radar

Mateo,

#1 is a great shot! This is what I miss in Sydney ;-)

Yes, #1 is beautiful, and nicely cropped.

#3 works very well for me. You've identified the dominant element (the walkway) and framed it to form an interesting diagonal leading line, while making the usually-expected level horizon subordinate to that dominant element. If you'll excuse my clumsy analysis...

Love the colours of what you call Fall and we call Autumn, they are so rich and warm.

You should try Brisbane, where we really only have two seasons - humid and not humid. :lol:

Lovely autumn colours, and I wish they were more prevalent here in Aus. I really like the last image also.

Cool shots, Mateo. I agree, I like the water drop shots too.

#3 is the pick here, but #1 is a close second. Both have those lovely autumnal tones (can't bring myself to say fall!) and the composition and angled framing work well. #2 doesn't grab me - I think in large part because the central flower doesn't fill the frame enough. Maybe a tighter crop?

I agree with most other comments... but... umm... have you noticed that your horizon is not level in #3??? Guess you could try to fix it in PP :roll:

We've spent quite a bit of time discussing just how important a level horizon is and you've clearly not been listening :shock:

Well done... look forward to more.
