Fallen Leaves

Lovely, very very lovely. I enjoy the pattern and texture in the pavers so much and the leaves scattered about but coming in most strongly on a diagonal call attention to the implied radius. Terrific tones and such an interesting contrast between the organic and the inorganic.

This gentled, wind-blown palm seems to be moonstruck. It's a lovely, organic abstract. The color of the sky, too, is magical. And the moon, wherever it originated, broadcasting its honeyed glow, is a fine counterpoint.

136 leaves and 68 paving blocks, so a 2:1 image ;)

Comment by ubique:
Yes, this is indeed a 'perfect' square composition, mathematically, aesthetically (they might be the same thing in this case). Look at it. Look again. Again. Longer. Linger. It gets stronger rather than weaker with repeated consideration. It's like Keats' Grecian Urn; consider just the first two and the last two of Keats' lines:

Thou still unravish'd bride of quietness,
Thou foster-child of silence and slow time
...

Beauty is truth, truth beauty, ΓΆ€“ that is all
Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.

I say it's just a bit like Keats, in order to not embarrass you. But it is what he was on about: the timeless durability of classical beauty. And you too.

Thank you.

Edit for typo. Not mine, it was Keats. Wonder why nobody noticed it before this?

nice abstraction, and well composed in the square, with the paving stones swooping in curves through the frame

Nice atmosphere. Reminds me of "House Hunting" by Todd Hido.

nice work! I like how the tree completely takes up the right side of the composition, strong presence
