Autumn--The Bench Photo

Photographer’s Note

A memory of the autumn. This is the Independentei Boulevard of Ploiesti (generally known simply as the Boulevard), at the beginning of November. There were yet a lot of yellow and brown dried leaves, from the famous chestnut-trees of the boulevard. The benches were empty, the season was too advanced....

Hi Andrea,

Very good POV. Very sharp and good colors. Vertical position is a good idea. Without people it'll better maybe anyway I like your composition. TFS
Kind regards

I like those 2 benches in different directions and the garden border leading us to the end. And the people add another dimension. I think it is a little oversharpenned. But great picture overall.

flory (4802) 2006-12-16 0:43

Hello Andreea
Great shot! Wonderful colors of autumn and this empty bench.. even the people on the background could't spare me the feeling of loneliness.

Jolies couleurs d'automne, même le banc s'est mis à la page !

Hello Andreea,
This autumn mood is beautiful! I like the framing with the bench in the foreground, well seen the two persons at the right, good POV too, well done!
Regards
Christian

ribeiroantonio (21753) 2006-12-28 16:38

Very beautiful picture, with good definition and nice colours. The vertical fram is excellent for the composition. The people presence is also very good but I would have waited to catch the people on their backs, to give the idea of going away from that empty bench. Well done.
Antonio

Hi Andreea,

A typical image of the Autumn, the leaves cover all the ground with their beautiful colour, I like the perspective and the intensity of the contrasts, good work and thanks to share.

Regards
José

danos (31796) 2007-01-12 17:09

Hi Andreea,
the passage from the Autumn in the Winter creates these fallen yellow and brown dried leaves. A beautiful photograph with beautiful colours and lighting with the passerbies to pass unconcerned in order to go to their works.
Friendly,Danos

sabyasachi1212 (19528) 2007-01-13 10:58

Beautiful atmosphere in this fine capture from the park!
The autumn is so much present, and the colours in the carpet of leaves are very attractive...
Good point of view and very well composed image, wise to include people!

hi Andreea,
what a colourful capture!
if i was there, i would have taken a shot only of the fallen leaves.

ben4321 (9781) 2007-01-27 17:10

I saw this on your intro page Andreea, and liked it immediately, although I think with a couple of changes it could have been even better.
Personally, I would have changed the framing slightly so that the line of the curbstones led out from the bottom left corner. This would also have enabled us to see further down the pavement which may have worked well. I'd also have preferred it if the couple were walking into the frame rather than out of it.
I like it though, well done.

Cheers,
Ben

batalay (20712) 2007-01-29 13:46

Hello Andreea,
After reviewing your B&W photo of the Clock Museum (and getting the feeling that you are restricted to only B&W photos), I find this photo of the rich assortment of colors of fall. With winter having set in, autumn has a certain appeal. What a beautifully organized image this is. The composition and exposure are first rate. I like very much the presence of life, the pedestrians walking along the "edge," and not the center of the picure. Well done,

Warm regards from Virginia and I can see that this image is getting the recognition that it rightly deserves!

vedra (0) 2007-02-25 4:25

Hi Andreea,
Nice composition, with well-transmitted feeling of a depreesive and wet autumn day. I like the forgotten bench in the foreground and the couple approaching it will certainly not change its sad status.
Vedrana

madux (170) 2007-02-25 20:03

Hello Andrea.
I was delighted to go through your gallery, and stop in front of this shot.
it is so lovely, depicting my beloved Autumn. I dare say it's kinda' romantic, and silent. but it takes more than some words to express something, just like this picture does.
very nice point of view, and bright colors.

Madi

jafadabret (39033) 2007-02-28 11:25

Andreea, tout n'est pas encore passé aux tons d'automne mais ce dernier a déjà bien travaillé pour faire voir que c'est bien sa saison. J'aime la perspective qui structure la photo. Les passants sont les bienvenus pour animer l'image. Les couleurs font beaucoup pour la beauté de l'ensemble.
Jacques

Dear Andreea,

This is a beautiful rendering of autumn, with wonderful POV and depth-of-field. The geometry of the composition is nice, and the overall effect is actually quite soothing.

Thank you for sharing this image with us.

Best regards,
José

vikous (2216) 2007-03-25 15:15

Hi Andreea,
very good composition with two thirds of gold leaves and one third of green ones. The tiny tree dividing the walking couple is a bit disturbing, but don't you worry, your photo is really nice capture of November atmosphere in Ploiesti.
