This is a shot for me of the first technical day of fall (Sept 1st). This is the lower water season and it will be a month or so before the the fall colors arrive. Personally, this is a lovely park for many reasons.

Sep 01, 2010 23:30 | #5 I like it... a lot... but there's something about it that nags me and I cannot put my finger on what. Maybe the empty space on the left, but I'm not sure. It feels out-of-balance. Website: Iowa Landscape Photography

stsva Cream of the Crop  More info | Sep 02, 2010 12:29 | #6 Nice shot, but I kind of agree with photoguy6405 that there's something out of balance - maybe if it had been shot from a slightly different POV it would balance out better. Also, to be really nitpicky, it's technically not the start of fall until Sept. 23 - http://www.infoplease.com/spot/equinox1.html Some Canon stuff and a little bit of Yongnuo.

So I got what I got. But the empty space in the front left where there are NO rocks? Yeah, I get that fall thing - unfortunately the weather still feel like summer around here. On the composition, I think it's the very dark diagonal stretch of woods in the upper left corner that's bothering me; the rocks and water look good. That dark space above them just kind of "zeroes out" and doesn't really balance the reddish/brown rocks like the rest of the greenery does. Some Canon stuff and a little bit of Yongnuo.
