Autumn has Sprung, a photo from British Columbia, Western

Photographer's Note

Finally Autumn seems as if it has come to life here in Vancouver. And finally the rain has stopped falling, allowing me to wonder out into our beautiful city.

This photo was taken in Vancouver, at Sutclife Park, located in the False Creek area. People who live here often jog the stone walkway each morning.

I was lucky to grab this photo when i did, because the natural light from the sunrise had very quickly faded away due to cloud coverage. About 2 minutes after this photo, it became completely dark and dreary.

Hope you enjoy your autumn scenery, and have a great weekend
Thanks
Craig

Hi there Craig,
one day I'd like to fly to Canada and see those wonderful warm autumnal colors with my eyes...anyway, for now it's good looking at your pics: it's out of usual clichè this urban view with trees in red and green in the FG.Well done!
Have a nice WE,
Rikk

Salut Craig,
Tu nous démontres que l'automne est arrivé mais tu couples cela à un superbe reflet ! Une très belle vue citadine.
Bravo à toi.

Hello Graig,

L'automne est bien là. Les "gratte ciel" et leurs reflets sont une merveilleuse réussite! Bravo pour la lumière et la composition.

Have a nice WE

Hello Craig !
It's a beautiful shot with really beautiful colors. I like it ! I particularly like the red trees which are very attractive. Reflections are also very nice.
I'm interested by this morning atmospher your photo frees : so much calm ! Very pleasant to look at. Really nice shot !
I just think sharpness and contrasts would have been improved a little. I put an example in WS to show you.
Have a good WE.
Magali

Hi Craig, such beautiful autumn colours - and we're getting 2 for the price of 1 with those amazingly clear reflections. Nice framing and I like the light bouncing off those buildings too. Great job, Lisa

HI Craig
It's a bit (too) bright at places but it's a nice skyline photo with added fall colors bonus. You might want to check the gallery of unfortunately no longer active member "Cormac" for inspiration.
Have a nice day JY

Hi Craig
A good skyline shot of this area. At first glance I thought it was Coal Harbour. Anyway the scene is one of tranquility in the city with excellent colours and reflections.

Good morning Craig. I really like the arrangement of the elements in this frame with the high rises, the boats, and greenery. Of particular interest is the red trees that catch the attention in the frame. Of course the side lighting and mirror water make this photo a classic. Great work Craig on this one.

Benedict (7076) 2009-10-26 5:22

this is what we don't have here, the colourful autumn leaves. i like the cool colors and the amazing reflections.
Benedict

pablominto (53746) 2009-10-26 8:33

You have a pleasant gallery here, Craig!
Varied content even if most is urban scenes like this one!
The point of view across the marina works well, not the least since the water has great mirror quality...
Great angle of light adds a fine 3D effect to the buildings, and the touch of autumn makes a fine contrast!
But the border??? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....

Greetings,
Pablo -

Hi Craig,

I think this photo goes hand in hand with that of Tosca, I suspect you were strolling together in search for inspiration! (:-) Well, the place is really inspiring and the autumn colours plus the reflections creates a deserving composition.
Well done,
Donato

hi Craig

Vancouver!!! A city where I can hire a car and drive around for leisure :) I did that twice :) even with a police reminder at Chinatown :p

This is a classic! Such a lovely autumn scene. The reflection is fantastic and what more to ask of the touch of green and autumn leaves at the left side!

Great work.
All the best from Borneo.
tfs, bill

Hi Craig, thanks for visiting my site and now I have a chance to view your photos. This one is just vibrant with Fall colors and such sharp images of these buildings even in the reflection. It's beautiful and I love the framing you added. I know Hamilton but haven't had the pleasure of visiting Vancouver.
