Another pleasing image! I enjoy your POV under the canopy of the green leaves with the hint of Autumn in the foreground. For me it would be another one for cropping a bit more, but this time to a letter box crop so that you remove most of the out of focus green leaves and the white sky! I hope you don't mind my critique?
@marshwader Thanks, Madeleine. No, I don’t mind. Your critiques are an interesting reminder that we all have different tastes, thoughts, and interpretations about photography. I used the tilt shift function in-camera as it’s a favorite technique of mine. In this case, the blur and in-focus portions are to emphasize the idea that sometimes the future isn’t as clear or predetermined as we may think or imagine.
