[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I was out and about earlier this month taking photos of the Autumn colours. This is a scene from a reserve named Punchbowl in the suburb of the same name. My wife and I were married just behind this tree.

Punchbowl is a south eastern suburb of Launceston, a popular tourist attraction with the Punch Bowl Reserve. The reserve has exotic and native trees and rhododendrons set in semi-natural bushland. It was opened up in the early 1900s and called Devils Punch Bowl.

A lovely shot David, good autumnal colours, nice reflections and well balanced.
There is a 'Devils Punchbowl' about twenty five miles from where I live.
Thanks for sharing.

Very pretty scene with great autumn colors, we have evergreens here and don't see the change of the seasons. We are green all year long. This is very crisp and has a great composition. TFS,

The colors of your autumn are really warm and soft. Good compo and crisp details. Very well done! Annie

beauty. very nice shot. Good POV.

Hi David,
do you agree that photos of places to which we are tied emotionally are for some strange reason better than the others? :-) You created here very nice view, looking in some way like intimate shelter - perhaps because the frame is filled with so wonderful objects? You used perfectly each sqare inch of the picture surface. Wonderful one! tfs

Hello David.

David, I think your photos are getting so much better. The colours have a lot to do with it I think, as well as the composition here. The plants here are so clearly shown, and the colours so natural. Great display, I think it is all quite beautiful, thank you
Janice

Hello David,
I can see you have very beautiful autumn colours down there too..!
This is an awesome palette, captured with great skill in a nicely composed image... Excellent sharpness and some fine details...
Greetings,

Vassilis

P.S. Thank you for your kind comments.

HI Dave,

Awesome Autumn photo! You sure picked a brilliant place to get married! Very romantic with beautiful colours to compliment the special event!

Well done
Con

David this is a wonderful shot, the colors are so lovely and the reflection in the water, a great shot. 10/10 I just love your landscapes wonderful
Christine.

Absolutely perfect, David! Gosh, this is gorgeous! Must admit that I laughed a little to myself when I read that you got married "behind the tree." Must have been a very small ceremony. lol

The colors, the shapes of the reeds and plants, the way the tree covers the entire top of the composition - really, really well done. (Can you tell I like it a lot? To prove it, I'm adding it to my favs!)

Take care!
Gayle :)

Hi David,
Everytime I see new photos from the southern hemisphere, I need to realize again that fall has begun. We are just so happy to see some fresh green color that we already forgot about the beautiful fall colors. But, gladly Internet helps us realizing it even more.
Great photo with beautiful colors. Love the composition.
Great to revisit the spot where you became husband.
TFS,
Niek

Wonderfull nature, nice to see you got married there
David, Good weekend, bye bye from Holland :-)
Josine

Stunning colours. Beautiful tranquil setting. strange name though.

Hi David.
What a well balanced shot,great colours and what wonderful memories for you.Again very comprehensive notes.
TFS.
Kind regards,
Robert

Hello again!

Strange for me to see these colors now! Beautiful framing using the tree. Very relaxing landscape.

Our tulips will finally open this weekend here!
Yeahhhh. It is about time . May 6th today!
Robert

Hello David, what a beautiful composition, just like a painters! Very well done and the tree framing the water and the vegetation in the fg.

Very well done! Cheers, Yan :)

See I can still find photos I have missed before.
Very pretty place,the kind of garden one could wish to have enough room to have in the back yard.
