Autumn

Comment by v5planet:
I love how the colors are arranged in this. Reminds me of an almost rock-papper-scissors succession. The green of the first leaf becomes the background for the second panel. The yellow of that the background for the third, and the red of the third the background for the first. Pulls me right into the picture, directing my eyes left to right and back to the beginning again. That having been said, I think the thickness of the borders is a bit of an obstruction - something slightly thinner and maybe lighter might make this more powerful. Someone suggested a dark brown.

One of my favorites.

Comment by Koper:
could have been a good photo because there is nice symmetry but nothing to define the depth, no foreground. Sorry

Comment by macrothing:
4 - Good potential. Criticism; either a sharper perspective (more 'level') and/or else inclusion of more of the cars on the side that are out of focus, would likely have made this better in my opinion. Perhaps 'sharpest' on the center car too. Different cropping, especially at the fore, to create more 'impact' may have also helped this. edit:typo

Comment by psychephylax:
nice job with the star filter (?) to get the twinkles in the lights but I think you used the wrong ornament (it's too shiny and reflects a lot of the stuff in the room which I find to be distracting)

I like the star effects given off by the lights add sparkle and that holiday feeling to the picture. However I'm not sure what the subject is, the ornament or the ipod.

Your iPod batteries are almost dead - minus 2 for that. j/k

It is a little too busy but the iPod does stand out!

pretty cool picture, although I would have only selected one thing to do the selective saturation on.

Comment by Maverick:
Love the light effects. The focus could be stronger on the bulb and ipod though. Any reason for including the ipod? It seems out of place. The title might be revised to incorporate meaning for the song playing on the ipod (I would have thought a Christmas song would be more appropriate, but there could be a story here I'm missing).
