Firewater

The contrasts of the extreme red complementing the darker black & white of the nicely flowing creek are absolutely gorgeous in this photograph. I like how the stones on the right side of the creek echo the waterflow & enhance it.

The "Wide" Golden Path

Comment:
This makes me want to walk along the path kicking up the thick carpet of leaves. This could be done for quite a while before encountering the guardians of the symmetrical Trees. The angle draws one in immediately & the perspective is quite delightful.

On the turn

Comment:
The uptop perspective on this is unusual & quite engaging, the contrasts well blended, the exposure even & balanced. The centre tree provides a nice focal point as well.

Prometheus's fall
by jaysonmc

Comment:
Great blends & colour contrasts. Prometheus stole fire & gave it to mankind & these trees could be representative of that gift. He was severely punished by the Gods for his folly in doing so however sometimes there is great beauty in the abstract nature of Fall and unanticipated gifts. Tones are nice.

Rainforest Foliage - Southern Hemisphere
by RamblinR

Comment:
The thin waterfall in the distance seems to be echoed by the roots of the foreground subject tree. That is the only source of any real colour - te rest of the tones are light & dark, shadows & greys. Very harmonious & yet the diverse & myriad shapes provide difference & tension.

Simplicity
by karmat

Comment:
The wispy flow of the stream or waterfall at the top reinforces the twig on the right which then leads the eye to the leaves on the rock. These are brown and not brilliantly coloured anymore but they do represent that stage of Autumn where things go back to the Earth. All the elements are simple yet contained in this photograph, leading to a circle which flows harmoniously together. The viewing is a pleasure.

Autumn on the river Bandon

Comment:
The flow of the water is quite engaging - it is almost the same even grey tones as reflected in the sky.

Autumn's End

Comment:
The patterns and crinkles in the pale ice contrast nicely with the red of the leaf. Winter now has Autumn in her grasp & will not give in lightly. This is simple, graphic and beautiful.

Autumn in the Cemetary
by md8speed

Comment:
This is just beautiful - the contrasts of the brilliance of the oranges & reds with the well worn & old greystone Celtic cross. Great definition in the tree & the shadows. Another plus in the ground reflections & the dapple on both the back tree & the cross & the shadow here parallels the leaves, reinforcing the mood of tranquility. One of my very favourites in this challenge.

And the darker leaves are the leaded lines. I wish this wasn't.. quite .. so dark however.
