Just playing with the pyramid...

I really like the composition. The colors are beautiful. It makes me want to grab a good book and sit under the tree and read.

another really nice image AWG, nice placement of tree trunks on the canvas. I think if you measured the distances trunk to trunk and trunk to edge you would find the golden mean ratio.

I'm not really sure of the intent.

With an apple in hand too. (OP: nice shot.)

Love the colors and the composition... but i feel like something is missing.... so i got to agree with drumsfield.

Saludos,

I agree with the Golden Means comment. Measuring between the trunks is almost analogous to reconstructing space depicted in a Piero della Francesca painting - most famously "Flagellation of the Christ"

I also agree with ADAPTE - it does need something to draw the viewer into the 'space' as described above.

Good to see that you are evolving - but don't stop, you've got much to cover still.

One more thing - how come all your scenery shots are devoid of people or life forms higher than vegetation? It's Wisconsin and there may be more cows than people, but nary a bird in sight.

Do you smell bad or are you incredibly ugly that animal scurry away in fear?

Autumn is colorful but this is the time most people start to feel empty
within- worst in Winter....Did you feel it ? I played around with the tree
spacing and left that hole in there...(If you noticed, there are 3 trees from a distance that are empty too. No leaves at all). As I said before, I like paintings...

It just happened that it`s sunset and now I`m a believer of timing in photography. That leaves glow beautifully without any post processing....

Have you heard about BIGFOOT? - w/ EOS

Excellent shot. Good focus. Must have used a smaller aperture like f8 or f16? I can see the farther sky and bushes in focus.

I like it in B/W too ... sepia toned, cropped it a bit tighter. I am a texture junkie and I think image has some nice textures. Had to sharpen the image to make the shapes snap. I am wondering why the sky on the left is whiter than on the right.

Looks much better in color IMO...try turning down the saturation just a touch...the orange in the trees looks slightly blown out. Or just run a wide burning brush over the entire tree to tone down the exposure just a hair.

I should have said I like it in B/W too ... the color is definitely nice.

I was using a circ. polarizer. This pic came directly from Raw and no cropping or PP done. Except saving it to Jpeg...

You can definitely see the hot spot on the leaves on B&W. That`s the harsh reflection of sunset hitting the surface.
