I always find it difficult to make comments on the essays. I wish I was more eloquent - I'm definitely not a wordsmith.

I agree with Don, the place is secondary to this essay. I love how you see and would love to go on a photo walk with you one day :)

THanks Henry and you know what. I echo your sentiments. It's this side challenge that keeps me coming back.

Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower
by ArnaMarie

Comment:
I gave this a 6. It's a good basic autumn scene but you haven't somehow made the best out of the composition. As MichaelC says, it's missing a focal point.

When seeing the original Jpeg, I can see you've cropped it from the native 3:2 aspect ratio to 16:9. I would certainly have cropped the image, but not quite the way you did. I find that log lying the foreground of the image could have been used to lead the eye into the image. Like MichaelC I would have cropped the tree on the left out.

I find myself having similar challenge as I do when looking at Don's essays. Words don't come easily to me, I'm simply not eloquent.

All I can say is I enjoyed looking at this collection of images, very cleverly put together.

I find it difficult to comment when looking at your essays Don. You take things to a different level and I find myself lost for words.

This is a lovely selection of images and words match perfectly.
