That would be a lovely place to sit for a while and take in the beauty of the fall colors.
Mary MacADNski: Really nice place. It's a fishing pond and camp ground where I took the reflection photos the week before when the water was still and the sky was blue. Went by yesterday too but didn't stop.

The 1/3rd rule does the trick! Nice picture but may be slightly overexposed?

The rest of the pictures from the trip were amazing too but still my favorite is the one you published yesterday...
Mary MacADNski: Yesterday's was from one of my hiking spots in the woods. This is a camping/fishing spot that I pass on the way to my hikes. There were two photos of reflections in the last while. This is from the same spot. I prefer the photo from the hikes too.
Very idyllic shot. Too bad you don't have an old man lounging on the chairs - that would finish the scene perfectly! I like the richness of the fall colors in the background, though I agree with Ray about the shot being slightly overexposed.
Mary MacADNski: Some day I'll get it all perfect.

The chair-set looks like an elderly couple lounging on the grass and gazing idly across the water to the Autumn display there.
My attention, though, is drawn to the line of bullrushes at water's edge.
I can't get over-exposed to scenes like this, Mary.
Mary MacADNski: You'd love my pond, Ray. It's full of bullrushes. The redwing blackbirds nest in them and when they return, are one of the first sign of spring for me.
I will bring the wine. Which chair do I get?
Gorgeous colours.
Mary MacADNski: Darn! I'm allergic to wine but drink beer. You sit and I'll take photos. People seem to think that's what's missing....someone in the chairs.

I jut looked at Aussie's bench where she's gonna sit with Louis for awhile. And now YOUR chairs here, Mary. So, who are you gonna have sit with you for awhile?! smile

It is such an idyllic place to just BE. One could do well enough just being alone and getting perspective on life!
Mary MacADNski: Michael says he's bringing wine which I'm allergic to so it won't be him. I actually don't sit very often. I'd be strolling around taking photos of those sitting there.

A place to be still, for sure.

Nice one.

Peaceful..makes me want to take up residency in one of those chairs. Great colors.
Oh will you just look at those autumn colours! What a place to sit and contemplate. (:o)
Mary MacADNski: They also have a lovely friendly dog about.

I could sit there for a long time and just look in amazement at the colours, great capture!
Mary MacADNski: It would be great wouldn't it.
Don't know what you call them over there Mary, but that looks like a gin and tonic table from here! Lovely colours and composition.
Mary MacADNski: Now gin and tonic i can take - gladly.
Very nice tranquil image with great colour. All the best, Dave.
Mary MacADNski: It's a lovely spot. Now to find the time to sit for a bit.
That great luck you have had when finding all this range of colors of the autumn. I like
Mary MacADNski: We have had a lot of wind recently so the leaves are quickly disappearing.

Hemos tenido muchos de viento recientemente así que las hojas están desapareciendo rápidamente.
