Autumn Break, a photo from Ile-de-France, North

Photographer's Note

The Jardin de Luxembourg is a great place to take a break from the daily stress. A lot of Parisians come here to eat their lunch, read a book, do some sports (such as tennis) or simply to sit around enjoying the autumn colors and the fresh air.

I cropped the shot, increased contrast and brightness and resized.

Hola Yvonne,
Plutôt rare qu'on peut voir autant de gens dans un parc sur les bancs à ce temps de l'année avec une couche de neige en plus. La photo prise en diagonale et dans un beau format carré est intéressante. belle présentation et les feuilles qui ne sont pas toutes tombées ajoute de la couleur à la scène. J'aime bien aussi le tapis de feuilles enneigé sur le sol.
Toutes mes félicitations!... et bon début de semaine,
Emilius

Hi Yvonne,

It looked like end of autumn. Leaves were scattered on the ground, very relaxing.

Hi Yvonne,
Point of view and framing creates a beautiful effect of depth. The serene atmosphere is perfectly described. The light, colors and sharpness are excellent. Bravo.
Have a nice day
Best regards
