dénouement

[John Chardine]

This image is from the late fall and symbolises for me the end of the summer "riot".

Crop and sharpen.

Hi John. Nice image. I like the angle of the shot and the fall of light on the leaf but I'm not sure about the shadow on the end of the leaf. I like the lines in the image and vein detail on the leaf as well. I would consider removing some space from the top but it is just a personal opinion.:)

I wonder about that shadow too John. Overall it is appealing with the colors and serene appearance of the scene. :)

The bright yellow surrounded by dark areas captures the denoument theme. I wish the end of the leaf was not in shadow. Thanks for sharing.

Well, I'll be the odd man out and say I like the shadow but wouldn't mind seeing it lightened up just a bit so less of it was so deep. I like the angle of the image and the yellows look rich without being overdone.
