Critique 7

Two photos taken today during my lunch hour.

Anyone like or dislike?

Think #1 would benefit from a separation between the lamp and tree. A half step to the right would have achieved it

I like the upright compositions which make the most of the tree heights in both scenes. The second one looks more pleasing colour-wise with nice warm tones, and good placement of the people walking away.

The first looks to me to have some magenta / reddy tones on the tree trunks and stone wall which doesn't look quite right.

Also the lampost is squeezed right up to against the first tree behind it - I think it would look better if there was some more space here.

Thanks guys

I concede that the first photo could be lined up better..

Im going to do something about that tomorrow

I like the second image, the reasons why?

The direction of light and resulting shadows
The autumnal tones look more pleasing and natural
the people walking in the scene provide a sense of scale and add a little interest

It looks like the same road to me from opposite directions. SO, why are the colours so different? Same leaves on the ground but (1) is biased to red orange and (2) to green yellow.
Number (1) looks like it was taken from the gate end and (2) from the building end.
Have you warmed up (1)?
CHEERS Vic.

Vic, I could be wrong but i think these images have been taken at very different settings?

The photos are indeed fromthe same location - just treated differently in post processing

I like the shots, but I would prefer them to look as I imagine they would - nature and natural lighting do a pretty good job of presenting the autumn colours.
