Dear TL-members,

Yesterdy, I took this autumn capture from the Koenigsallee in Duesseldorf. As always, being a fan of colors, I like the harmony of colore here and the mood hidden in it.

Hope you like the shot.

best greetings,
Paras


---------------------------

Information on Koenigsallee (Duesseldorf)

When it was built in 1804, the 'Koe', as it is affectionately known to locals, was situated in a slightly run-down area on the edge of the city. As Duesseldorf grew, the street became more central and things really took off after a face-lift at the start of the 20th century. An underground station was opened, the pavements were widened and the street lamps, kiosks and telephone boxes were restored. Nowadays the boulevard is Duesseldorf's no. 1 shopping street and has enhanced the city's reputation as being one of Europe's major fashion centres, but has also lent it a reputation for being somewhat snobbish.

Bonjour Paras,

Quelle belle improvisation les feuilles posées juste comme çà!!!
La perspective est généreusement colorée, les reflets des arbres léchent merveilleusement l'eau qui semble endormie.
Compliments mon ami.

Radieuse journée.

Yolande

Very nice autumn colors details and reflection.
Great composition .

Hi Paras

Good repetition of the evenly spaced trees, with their dark trunks adding a nice graphic element. Superb Fall colours with marvellous reflections in the canal. The fg leaves add depth. Tfs!

Buena edición la que le has dado, muy contrastada y distinta, un saludo.

Hello Paras,

A very well composed shot.
You really have used the converging lines of the canal, and the receding autumnal trees, well, to guide the viewer to the focal bridge. As you say, the colours are lovely and I like the use of the three leaves, in the f/g, to create immediate interest.

Have a lovely Sunday,
Bev :-)

Hello,

les feuilels mortes en premier plans donne encore un plus avec cette image, avec le tapis d'orient à droit, ces merveilleux reflet sur le canal, ces couleurs, grandiose image, merveilleux perspective et ensemble.

Bravo et amitié

Nicou

Ciao Paras, fascinating autumnal composition with wonderful warm colors, fantastic reflections, splendid perspective, very well done, have a good Sunday, ciao Silvio

Hello, Paras -
Superb autumn feel to this wonderfully composed image. Perfect POV from the corner of the canal, framed on either side by the rows of perfectly conforming trees. The bridge in the distance provides a fine reflection in the peaceful surface of the water. Excellent!

Hi Paras,
A nice Autumn presentation with the full colors of the Season is display, begining with the placed leaves in the FG, which, in my openion, would eliminate!
You've got a feast of a composition without the FG!
A great POV to capture this waterway with a grand reflection of the trees.
A great warm atmosphere and a nice light to highlight the golden foliage.
Great work,
Regards,

Francis Xavier

Hi Paras,
Absolutely beautiful colors and reflections in this wonderful scenery!

Ciao Paras,


My city has something in common with this one!
We also have channels cutting the city and
enough trees, it will never be so pretty
as this shows me that you! Fabulous!
Colors and depth are very well.
Sharpness and clarity are superb.
Good captured and composed, nice colors too.

Hi Paras,

A really nice POV you've chosen. Shooting from a diagonal corner you've captured both the waterway and rows of trees in a superb manner. The trees and carpet of fallen leaves provide great coloring for this fall scene. TFS

Werner

Hi Paras,
What a lovely composition.
You have brilliantly captured the canal with
it´s reflection. The banks covered with the
orange foliage creates a lovely warm autumn
mood. The trees forms a nice canopy over the canal.
POV and DOF are perfect. well done.
Regards.

dear Paras,
yes colors are splendid, and the feeling is so fine.
very autumnal view of beautiful yellow lined trees and canal.
this perspective and composition of fore leaves are nice to show us this seasonal atmosphere well.
thank you for your excellent shot,
Akihisa

Hi Paras,

This is an amazing POV and composition is top notch-with beautiful colours of Autumn on display here. Only one minor flaw and it is to do with critical sharpness.

I think the DOF employed here is not sufficient to render optimum FG to Bg sharpness in the scene. The top left of the frame (where the leaves are)is out of focus and blurred and could be due to use of f/2.8 aperture. Having said that; using an aperture of f/6.3 or higher may have given you the shot but at the expense of slower shutter speed and I am not sure if you did take this with a tripod. If you did not have one, then this is a very good shot under those circumstances.

This is a fine image otherwise and well done on sharing such an interesting/creative perspective and I salute you for that!

regards,

Dilshan

Hi Paras
