Artist's Comments

The Autumn equinox is the point at which the sun crosses the equator. This year it was September 23rd.

For us in the north, it means that the days will get progressively colder. The sun actually began its southward return on June 21st which is the spring solstice.

Contrary to popular belief, the trees turn colour not because of frost, but rather because of the fading hours of sunlight. As the length of the day recedes, the tree prepares itself for winter by gradually slowing the flow of sap to the leaves. As the process continues, the leaves begin to turn colour and drop in preparation for winter regeneration.

Very cool. I love the red on the old car in opposition to all of the other browns, yellows and greens in this shot

Thanks Allan,

I found the colours embracing too. The red object is a grass cutter. It too seems to add something to the whole image.

Great colours. I love the sky and the trees :)

Nice explanation of the autum process... I enjoyed.
I didn't think about it before, but it's totally true. The trees are green because of the "clorofila" and the sun, so, less sun, less green. :)

I think you don't need to learn how to treat the pictures, they're are already perfect!

And.. in actuality. the colors are there already, you just can't see them when they are producing chlorophyll..after that stops and the sap drains the colors show .. isn't that cool? Great shot.. nice colors and textures
