Autumn at Briarcliff

[Julie Kenward]

This is part of the path that winds through a new development near my office. It was absolutely gorgeous this fall and I managed to get out and photograph it early one morning which made it shine even more.

Canon 40D, 17-40mm f/4L
f11 @ 1/60th, ISO 200
Manual mode, pattern metering, sunny WB
Handheld, natural morning light
Processed in ACR & CS3; added an Orton-like effect at the end

Hey Jules,
The sky doesn't bother me in this one......because it has very nice colors and shadow play. You used the Orton effect minimally........and it really works for me here. The yellow have a very nice painterly look to them......while the path leads me nicely through the scene.

Jules, Real nice winding path thru beautiful fall foloiage- I like the softening effect and the colors!

[Chris Starbuck]

Jules,
I think Roman & Denise have said it all. I really like the glow in the warm colors, and the curving path.

My thoughts captured above. Nice work Julie.
