Fall

[Wheeler McDougal Jr.]

The weather was just beautiful last weekend and the fall folage was at it's height. Illionis can be very beautiful this time of the year. What do you think?

Hey Mac,
You are getting some terrific colors out there! This may sound strange........but I would crop off the left side to eliminate the large blue areas.......and even consider doing the same on the top..........this makes a very strong frame of all the leaves and balances it a bit more for my tastes..........but still nicely seen.........it's like I am looking through a fall window frame!

Hi Mac,

When I first looked at this I thought well seen - a window of colorful foliage. Cropping from the left and top strengthens that look by keeping the eye in the central opening of the window.

I like that you did not oversaturate the colors.

Roman and Robert- I could not agree with you more. Here is the cropped version. I think it is much better. What about you? Thanks for the help!

That's it Mac. Works perfect now.
