Overlooking Fall on the Prairies, a photo from Alberta, Prairies

Photographer's Note

I have always admired the view from this bench on my walk to school. I have photographed it several times, but a couple days ago I thought it looked especially nice with the fall colors, especially the limited range of blue to yellow, brown and red.

PP: A resize, frame, and slight unsharp mask.

Wow! Nice use of the bench to give us a focal point, and one that helps us to place ourselves in the picture. Great colour and contrast too, very punchy and pleasing. Well done!

Excellent composition with perfect placement of the bench at the left side of the picture. It's a good invitation to stay and soak in this beatiful colors. A couple sitting on the bench would probably made it even better.
Best Regards, Peter

Bull Trail Park. Drive by there every day. The shale in front is a good color lead in to the pic. Caught a nice sky too.

Good idea and subject: the lonely bench gives a sense of solitude and romanticism. The autumnal colours are eye catching and the highway climbing up the hill create an interesting line.
Well done.

Hi Mike, I must have been on the other side of this valley on the weekend, but then again with my lack of knowledge of how the "L" is laid out, I could be wrong. :) Really nice scenery here, the skies look amazing with the filter. Great lighting on the foreground and bench.
