Fall is in the air. Leaves are more noticeable on the ground. I took this shot of a street puddle in Ottawa an hour ago, then played a bit with it. Now it looks a bit menacing. I'd better stopped.

You have captured the pending change of season very well I believe. Living in the Northeast of the US, I too am seeing the evenings cool, the days shorten, the winds blowing.

Sarolta, with this one you opened the fall season on TL :) And you chose good, warm colours to display that fall feel. Do I need saying - it looks like a drawing.

Great puddle :)

ComplimentS!

Great color and I love the balance of the image! Nice work!

Hi Sarolta,

it looks like you have won the day with this magnific photo. An excellent "painting", very beautiful! The fall is almost there...
Regards,

Roberto

it seems (at least in my opinion) an image very dreamlike.....or nightmarelike.....
and I like the mood you felt..

Beautiful abstract picture! The reflection of the telephone post (this is what I think it is) in the water looks like a rake picking up the leaves on the ground.This is really very beautiful and well done! Bravo! Michel

Les couleurs de l'automne sous la loupe de Sarolta …
Bravo !!!
Antonio

Beautiful shot! Lovely colours and composition. Nice and clever PP

I am not certain I want to think about Fall as of yet, but this is a beautiful picture which has become almost a piece of abstract art. The electric pylone reflecting in the pool of water gives it a very menacing look. The colours are absolutely stunning. Well done!

i love the colours :) it's beautiful :)))

Amazing colors in this nature shot. It reminds me of a puzzle, where you see familiar shapes but can't quite make the final image yet. I also thought that the reflection looked like a rake. Good work and thanks for sharing.

Szia Sarolta,
I don't really like the fall coming but I admit the beauty of its colours!! Wonderful photo you have here with the rusty colours I can feel the fall coming :))))
Csak igy tovabb!!!
cheers

How did I miss this great photo? My bad, I should have known that you often deliver excellent works like this. So, now, I will start peeking on you every once a while. :D

This is a great work! much more artistic than most photos seen on this site. Its color is amazing for what you attempted to achive. There are a lot to learn from you. Lucky enough, we live in the same city, so I can understand your work better.

This is an amazing piece of photo, that I call as "art".

Keep up the great work!

P.S. Mind to share your post process procedure?

Hi Sarolta.
In paintings we use the expression "craquele" for your effect here.
Perhaps you know about it; old little pieces of paint are breaking and bending up.
I see a telephone/electriciy post with wires; in the reflections it is just like craquele and therefore familiar to old beauty things.
The brown makes this even stronger.
Good warm picture; only the left part lacks some structure.
Thanks
Huub

Bonjour Sarolta,
Il eut plu de l'or que vous en fissiez la photo!
It's seems a pic after a gold rain!
Moreover your pic is the picture of automn...
Nice!
Jess

Very artistic! At first I thought it a oil painting. The effect is very impressive and I really like it.

Very beautiful and dramatic final effect, well done.
