Dunfermline Glen, a photo from Fife, Scotland

Photographer's Note

I visited Scotland recently and took a walk around Dunfermline glen, a park given to the people by Andrew Carnegie.
The leaves were a glorious colour and I wanted a photo of them. but the problem, I thought, was making it interesting. So I made them leading lines to people.

Hello Bob,
I really like this kind of composition - something not so conventional that conveys the feeling of autumn in a different way. The line of fallen leaves do a great job leading us into the distance, and I like the moss-covered stones on the left side, too. I like your choice to focus on the foreground, and have the rest of the scene softly-blurred. It works well, and everything comes together nicely.

Hello Bob - I like the way you explain this composition in your note, it's interesting to read of a photographer's reasoning and encourages us all to consider what we are doing before we press the shutter.

We see many autumn shots on TE right now but not many that feature the fallen leaves. Here they are pushed up against a wall and both wall and leaves have lots of good textural detail. As you say the group of people add interest but I like the fact that they are additions rather that the main focus of your shot.

There is a lot to enjoy here, I like your creative thinking and well managed shot very much.

Warm regards

Rosemary

Hi Bob!
This is a very well thought composition! I like your idea, placing the leaves in diagonal really leads us to the people and makes it very original and also beautiful. Good autumn shot!

Hello Bob, your low point of view certainly accentuates the beautiful colours and shapes of the fallen leaves.
I like the way that the line leads us to the colourfully dressed people in the distance.The wall has its own attraction with its mossy coat.
Regards Jean.
