Fall Farm Foliage

I would use this print for the show... I imagine that properly matted and framed, this would jump out at the viewer!

This is the type of shot a person sees and bonds with straight away when the elements are right. By that I mean that it is so easy to get this type of shot looking messy and wrong, but difficult to get it right. It is a mass of shapes in the leaves set against the rigid straight lines of the fence, and even in mono we can't help but feel the warmth of colour in the wood and the leaves. Where I feel it particularly works, however, is that it is essentially a composition of 3 triangles, although they are not obviously seen as such when first viewed. I'm talking about the 2 fence ones ably supporting the largest triangle of the foliage, and I feel that the composition would be weakened without them. It's a fine shot.

where is the show?

Thanks for your comments, guys. david b, the show is at the Wallkill River Gallery in Montgomery, NY. My wife and I will offer a joint exhibition (she with paintings, and me with photographs) with an opening on March 8th.

my kind of image and yours is so nicely done...
