Hello,

 

I just finished some shots. I wanted to show them to you on one side. On the other I really would like your help. I need 3 of these 5 images but after working on them for quite a long time, it's really hard for me to decide.

 

I would really appreciate your help.

Hi Christopher,

 

If you want to depict autumn, then I think you are really bound to use colour, so (although I like #1 as an image) I'd choose #2 and #4 because they have a more unified composition than the others, and a good centre of interest. I'd skip #3 because of two reasons; the paths lead the eye in all different directions and; the shadows bisecting the colour of the trees diminish the impact. I quite like the top half of #5, but find the dominance of the asphalt in the foregound a distraction.

 

So, if you're looking for an 'autumn' selection, I'd only choose #2 and #4. If you have to have a third colour image, I'd crop the bottom off #3 to minimise the paths, but otherwise I'd choose #1.

 

A long answer to a short question, but you ought to expect that in forums such as this, you will get as many different opinions as you have respondents!

 

With best wishes,

 

Ian

First, I really like these shots. 2 is my favorite. I think you'd really have to be BW prejudiced to choose 1 over it.

 

3, and 5 are my other choices. I think the paths in 3 enhance the image, lending a little complexity. Maybe you could crop a little of the road off the bottom of 5, but that element makes the picture. Without it, the picture becomes much more ordinary. So be careful or leave the way it is.

 

4 is kind perplexing to me. It doesn't fit with the others. It seems to have everything and yet I'm not crazy about it. It's feels a little in-your-face somehow to me whereas the others are subtle and luring me in, not selling me.

 

Great work,

 

Thanks,

 

Mitchell
