Description

Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
-Robert Frost

*Same place as "Moonlit Paths", different photograph (without the couple), enhanced hues...

Hm.. on the after-processing side I agree with the others - you brought out a great mood here.
But on the technical side, I have to disagree. I think I still can see the original photo in here as its colors were edited. And on that one, I have to crit a really important thing: balance! The sky is overexposed where the trees in the foreground are underexposed. Maybe you could try taking this with one or two combinated graduated gray filters to get a more balanced effect or just take a short-exposure-shot and a long-exposure-shot on a tripod and edit both into each other.

I like the feel, the path leading off into unknown. Good colors, and nice autumn capture. Cheers.

i think theres too much saturation
 
Avatar windandfire

 12/04/04 @724

I think there was a reason for too much saturation. ..;) But thanks for your comment!!!!! I appreciate them all....
This photograph was one that I was tempted not to put on here, because it had greater value to me. I'm addicted to the brightness of the top of the photo and so........I'm sorry, but I can't make myself change the saturation or crop it(((( If I lessen the saturation, to me it will lose all value. . .
I'm sorry!!!! Don't think I don't value your opinions on the cropping/saturation/etc, I truly do like to know what you think!!!! But it's the interplay of colors and meaning that plays an important role for me in here . . .
Glad some of you liked it!!!!!! I love everyone's critiques!!!!

Oh, and Phryneas, I don't have a tripod and don't know anything about filters/exposure, unfortunately. ~:0 This camera has been loaned to me for a short time so it won't be long before I have to give photography up for a little while....thus, I don't know anything about photography! Sorry((((((
I'll go look filters, etc up on the web......I know I've pestered you enough about other stuff.. Thanks for the help!!!!!!!

Great golden look. If you really are 16 you are off to a wonderful start on your career. You've got a terrific eye sizing up what to photography. Don't give up photography. Get cheapy camera's if you have do. Buy used. Get books from the library and study the photos. Keep the interest alive. And alway look around with your eyes as if you were going to photography them.

Also check if your school has camera club. Or a local neighborhood association. Call the local technical college and see if then know who might be meeting. Just pick the tips and lingo. Stay with it.

I waited way too many years to get into it. I missed so much. Now I'm catching up and it is a lot of fun. But keep at it...you're doing great!!

The photo is surreal and truly does appear to be cast in gold. I love the colours and that it is framed so nicely in the underexposed trees. Great work!

The aim of this photo is obviously the mood and feeling of it. That is the level it works so well on. I do think it could be improved technically but is not the determining factor here for the photo succeeds where it should. Nicely done!!

Mmm am I the only one that thinks you have potential to do better? I think the vanishing point could have shifted something to the left to follow the curve of the road to give it more 'depth' (follow the diagonal of the eye direction), but hey...who am I to tell you that....nice picture.
