Photographer's Note
This photo was taken yesterday in central Gothenburg.
Another person also liked the sight of the first autumnal colours along the moat.
The tree that provides these early autumn leaves is a horse-chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum).

Good morning Gunnar,
This photographer must be the only person in Sweden who doesn't own a bright red jacket! Nevertheless, he certainly does "stand out" in the picture and he is perfectly placed in the frame too. Of course, his posture and his camera make us look to what he is viewing - the gorgeous changing colours of the leaves of the horse-chestnut tree and the moat below.
A beautiful photograph with lovely colours hinting at the end of summer and colder weather to come. Perfect exposure, lovely composition and exceptional details and sharpness.
Excellent!
Kind Regards,
John.
P.S. I wonder if "Health and Safety" bedevils the Swedes as much as it does the British? I remember well that, when I was at school, we used to play "conkers" with dried horse-chestnuts on strings, trying to smash our opponents' chestnuts by swinging ours as hard as we could and with well-practised technique. But all that has now been stopped - far, far too dangerous for children nowadays!

Hello Gunnar,
a well composed shot with the photographer perfectly placed to anchor the image. I'm not sure that I am rady to welcome autumn yet as summer has hardly been to Scotland.

Nb The fruit of the horse chestnut are called conkers here. Once upon a time childen would bore a hole through them, thread a string and swing these against other children's conkers to see who could smash the other.

Hej Gunnar,
Väldigt skir och vacker grönska med begynnande höstrodnad. Utomordentlig skärpa och kjusbehandling. Inte att undra på att fler var intresserade av att ta bilder här.
Trevlig semester, vi hörs i oktober.

Hello Gunnar,
It is quite remarkable how many people have digital cameras. We went to the falls at Aysgarth and found it almost impossible to get a photograph without other photographers in shot. However, sometimes the photographers make a pleasing and interesting focal point and I think this is the case in this shot. The photographer is strongly positioned and produces a direction for us, as viewers, to follow. You have a good f/g triangle a nd a fine dof.
I think the tree is probably a horsechestnut. I have noticed around my home that they are always the first to show signs of autumn.
My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hallo gunnar,
es ist immer lustig, andere Fotografen zu beobachten. Wie unglaublich viele immer gleiche Herbstlaub-Fotos mag es schon geben? Jeder, der eine Kamera hat, macht jedes Jahr mindestens eins. Du hast dem alten Thema "Herbstfarben" eine etwas andere Variante hinzugefügt.
Viele Grüße
Elvira

Dear Gunnar,
autumn is indeed fast approaching. But the season offers the finest colors which are also appreciated by this unknown photographer.
The image is very well composed and the natural colors are a pleasure for the viewer's eyes as well. My compliments!

Hej Gunnar,
En väldigt påpassligt tagen bild. Fotografen är perfekt placerad och du har verkligen fångat hans koncentration på motivet. Han märkte nog inte ett dugg.Din vinkel är också suverän när det gäller höstlöven han fotograferar. De framträder klart och tydligt mot bakgrunden. Tack för titten och ha en bra kväll!
Hälsningar
Ulf

Hej Gunnar,
First autumn colours trigger all photographers to go out into the nature to shoot. Adding the other photographer in action into the perfect place give extra interest and life. Lovely colours and excellent sharpness. Our first signs of yellow leaves appeared already a little more then two weeks earlier.
Hälsningar,
Lasse
