[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I guess I'm not ready for autumn to give way to winter quite yet even though it's about to, so here's another shot taken on a glorious day in Canmore, Alberta. This boardwalk downtown meanders through a marshy piece of land between housing developments but when there, it feels like being far away from urban civilization - a great place for a quiet stroll...

Hello Gérald,

mangigique co composition, ce chemin en bois qui fait sa courbe au milieu de cette merveilleuse nature de couleurs sublime et merveilleux, le gris tranhe bien avec le doré, et au lion cet belle montagnes eneigées, au-traver des sapins, superbe.

Bravo et amitiés

Hello Gerald

What a beautiful landscape.
The path, with this curve, leads the eye towards the mountains. These automnal colors, with different tones, are very beautiful. It seems to be so quiet...
Thank you for the stroll ;o)

Regards,
Karine

Hi Gerald, A very beautiful view, the mountains make the perfect backdrop to this stunning scene, you have composed the shot very well with the walkway adding depth, crisp light & sharp colours, this looks a wonderful place, TFS, kind regards Wilson.

Excellent photo.

Hello Gerald,
This is a beautiful composition with superb light and colours. Fine perspective heightened by the wooden walkway which also contrasts nicely with the autumn foliage either side. Excellent photographic quality all round.

Hi Gerald, beautiful one with the road of wood unning as a snake in the colorful bush, with amazing tones. Good quality, light balance with the sky and excellent POV.
thanks, ciao

Hello Gerald,
Very good composition this square format with this small boardwalk going nicely through the image. The colors of autumn are magnificent and, like you, I wish it would last more...
Have a nice day,
Best regards, Christian

The colours are stunning and the line of the boardwalk leads the eye in nicely. The clear blue sky contrast very well with the rich autumn colours too. It would be nice to have a bit more detail visible in the trees on the left but that is nit-picking.
The image makes want to get back to Canmore, which for my money, is a greatly under valued location.

Another great one, Gerald!
Wonderful autumnal colors annex framing, and those mountains in the background are simply awesome.
Love it!
You have a great day.
Ciao,
Fulvio.

I must add this to my favorites. This is FANTASTIC scenery. I love the path! Fabulous colors!! Awesome picture!! TFS

Hi Gerald

Hi Gerald,

Well done!

Une balade bien agréable Gerald,
aménagée avec ces passerelles de bois, on a cela aussi chez nous pour les endroits boueux.
Un arrière plan avec ces hautes montagnes qui donne beaucoup de profondeur.
Très belles couleurs et un ciel impérial.
Best regards.

Hi Gerald,
This lovely wooden path creates great depth as it winds into the dense woods to the distant snow capped peaks. The colors are very clear and contrast wonderfully from the golden grasses to the green trees and blue mountains and sky. Tecnically perfect image that makes for a very pleasing natural landscape.

Great use of the boardwalk to guide us into the frame, as our eyes natually follow the walkway into the distance. This also gives the photo a nice sense of depth. Good colour and some dramatic mountains make this a beautiful shot. Well done!

So I gather the boardwalk is on swampy ground or was it built to protect the ground from traffic? Either way the walkway provides an excellent perspective for this photo Gerald. Wonderful background mountains too. There seems to be something interesting inside those trees on the left. Not sure what it is..

Hi Gerald
I really like the way you framed this picture. The wooden walk is guiding us to the mountain. Except the mountain in the BG, it's really look like the "fagnes" in Belgium.
Cheers
JP

Ciao Gerald, great mountain landscape with splendid autumnal colors and wonderful light, very well done, bravo, ciao Silvio

Hi Gerald

Good lead in lines, from the boardwalk, which provides superb diminishing linear perspective. Wonderful, vibrant colour, with marvellous sharpness, & a good colour contrast, between the yellow Autumn foliage, & blue sky. Tfs!

I like this, Gerald, of course the well-lit curving path is a very nice compositional element, as the eye is slowly taken along through the entire frame, but also you have here pleasant interplay of light and shadows, and of course the mountains in the background are majestic... Very well done!

Cheers
Alexander

Hello Gerald,
I like this wonderful mountain landscape, nice perspective of the wooden path and beautiful autumn colors.

Hi, Gerald. We have similar boardwalks over here in Belgium and we often use them to create perspective in the pictures. I see photographers do the same on both sides of the Atlantic ;o). It was also a good idea to include the shrub on the left to create contrast and depth. The landscape is first rate and I like to see the summits towering over the pines, which emphasises their height.

hello gérald
colors of splendid autumn in this landscape of dream for that which as me likes wild nature, a POV excel well done

Hi Gerald,
The perspective of the boardwalk takes our eyes towards the beautiful mountains of background, in a splendid image, which has a good light, elegant shades and a few fantastic autumnal colors.
Everything in this picture it invites us to walk and enjoy this magnificent landscape.
Great photo.

Les couleurs sont magnifiques sous ce soleil.

Hi Gérald,

Superb invitation with the walk here, I like much this alley out of wooden. The landscape is marvellous and I think that it must be very pleasant to be able to benefit from such a spectacle. The luminosity is perfect and gives very beautiful natural colors. An alleviating sight, thank you Gerald.

With all my friendships,
