Photographer's Note

A swan glides gracefully across the Middle Lake at Sheffield Park Gardens in East Sussex, England. Shades of autumn colouring the trees and reflected on the surface of the still waters.

Hi Brian,

another wonderful fall composition! The colours are gorgeous and the swan is a white dot adding more interest, you are right naming it in the title...

Have a nice day

Hello Brian,

This is a masterful shot of wonderful autumnal colours complemented by fine reflections, a lovely foreground and a fine sky.

Lovely well (though not overly) saturated colours, excellent composition and as usual, superb sharpness.

Beautiful!

kind Regards,

John.

P.S. I believe there's something amiss with the TE website just now - I've been having a few problems posting critiques and points don't appear to be registering either.

Hi Brian, There were some troubles with site lately and I missed your last photos. Another great shot from Sheffield, now even with the swan. Magnificent colours. Nice water lilies.
Inspired by your wonderful shots, I tried to make something in your style, also with nenuphars and autumn colours.

Hello Brian,the bold composition works very well,with the lily pond filling the bottom of the frame and the shapes and colours of the trees making an interesting backdrop.
Cheers Les.

Hi Brian,

Beautiful shot. Nothing to pick on here, all is perfectly place, even the swan in the middle of the pond, love the variation of fall colors and perfect composition.

Hello Brian,
I love the fall season, and this is a wonderful reminder of all of the colors that were here not too long ago. It is great that there are so many different types of trees, with different colors and textures. I like all of the lily pads floating in the water, and that one, lone swan is a great bonus. It is a beautiful scene.
