Thanks, Darin.
Now I'm caught between your comment on the appropriateness of the city
background and Charles's comment that he found it distracting. So I went to
CS2 and replaced the urban background with a nature-like background. As to
be expected, the picture is dramatically different. Nothing close to what I
had intended to portray. It was intended to be a park-in-the-city picture
and it does not work otherwise.
What I did find interesting when shooting this picture was the combination
of colors (red, green, orange and yellow), the interaction between the
couple and the single man (it took me several pictures pefore people
materialized in an appropriate way), the interaction between the central
vertical of the tree and the several contour lines of the terrain all
interacting with the water in the foreground. I guess this all remains
true.
Thanks again,
Guy

"Colours of Fall" - Guy Glorieux
Guy, this aptly named photo is remarkable on several different levels.
First, and most obvious, is the splattering of color across the frame
synonymous with the onward marching of autumn. A few pedestrians punctuate
the image, which forces a relationship between themselves and the viewer,
and the peek at urban life in the background gives a sense of harmony
between Nature and Society. Eliminate the people, eliminate the city, and
it
is a very empty image. You have done well, sir!
