[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
While I was walking down this old cart road at Quabbin Reservoir, I noticed an old ruin consisting of a series of stone pillars in a row. This one was full of fallen leaves, just as I saw it here, which almost looks staged.

Hi Michael,

Wonderful fall image with the rocks and leaves as a nice focus point in the foreground and the trees in the sunlight in the background. Great POV with excellent lighting, colors and details! Great work, Michael!

Greetings,
Ann

Hi Michael,
Last week I had a chance to go to a place which autumn is very generous. I remembered that place when I saw your photo.
Your object (ruin) at he foreground gives deep atmosphere to the secenery , I liked the composition very much.
Cheers.

Great compo, Michael.
POV, DOF, color, lighting... absolutely flawless.
When I hear/see Massachusetts I can't help but think of Salem... This looks like a fine location in daytime to me, but I seem to detect something eerie in it... would I like to be out here at night? Do I smell witchcraft around these ruins? Lots of weird stories back up in them woods...
Thanks for sharing!
Ciao,
Fulvio.

Hi,
Actually just on the way out with a view to finding a place like this! I probably would have cropped off the top 100px, but the colours are good and natural, even with the sun streaks that are not too bright. The foreground is a great idea. Thanks.
Dougie.
