Alone In The Park

Nottingham Arboretum Park, a green oasis of trees and flowers just a short walk from the heart of the city centre.

This is shot a a young man reading his book on a warm Sunday afternoon. I took the shot during the interval of the band concert

Edited in Rawtherapee, which brought the tree details out in the darker area to the right of the bench. I upped the vibrancy a tad too to help the flower colours pop.

I feel there is just a hint of autumn colours appearing

Somebody has thought to plant this lovely display and its good that you were there to document it beautifully!

Looks beautiful, Phil, and I like that the background is covered with trees. The young man looks very absorbed on his book.

Great to have these spaces in cities and yes, definitely a touch of autumn here in UK now.
