Beautiful composition. Benches are favorite of mine. This is really gorgeous.

ok usually fall shots are sad, about death, and maybe this one is a bit, but not really coz of the benches in the background, which are about how we enjoy sitting out in the fall... beautiful, awesome shot

cold, moody, gloomy- brilliant!!

What a great autumn photo! it almost feels like I can retell some of my own stories looking at it.

It looks like a hiding place for dating... very romantic. I love to think of the stories that might have spent there.

Beautifully done - in fact, masterful!

Excellent angle and superb tones !

How moving, somewhat sad and yet the memories come flooding back with the feeling of...I've moved on now:-) A wonderful emotive image and expertly presented!

Lot of sadness here, can't tell why.. the fallen leaves + b&w + no one on the bench I suppose...
Great compo and a very audacious crop.

yes, very sad mood here. he's left you - perhaps for someone younger. you happen by these benches and remember happier times. lovely, melancholic photo.

beautiful; love the composition here; the juxtaposition of the foreground, the dying leaves, and the background is perfect. love the title, too...

beautiful composition and the choice of B&W suits the mood perfectly

cheers

A very sad but yet beautiful photo ... the empty benches, the black and white and the title, it all gives a feeling of loneliness. I love the angle with the dead leaves in the foreground, great composition.

You are the master of creating emotional reactions through your art! How sad this makes me feel! That is what are does, is it not?

autumn... you've captured the changing mood of the season. nice concept and composition.

Benches are now empty, leaves are now dead. A dramatic image.

Sad, the empty benches, the fallen leaves, the wistful memory all come together in this one image. You've done it again, made a great visual statement. Bravo!

A tender and sorrowful story unfolds in your greyscale composition. Very beautiful.

Your titles are poems and your photos, melodies, you are one artistic lady!

Stunning composition! Very good work!

Superbe idée de mettre ses feuilles mortes en premier plan et ses bancs déserts, une ambiance de toussaint ! belle photo

This is beautiful and the light is amazing

the definitive fall leaf photo. this is it. (and to think it's in b&w!)

Fantastic image with showing change.... the leaves are fallen the benches empty. Beautiful composition.

It is not only an autumn picture... it has a special character...

i agree w/ Marhilde -- this has an evocative feeling that could be any time in the year -- at any point in adult life. sadness, mixed feelings, melancholy, solace, beginnings of change... it is all present here! excellent angle and pov here -- a magical dof too!! brilliant work (as always) BC!! :D

Really like the angle and the bw processing in this image. Great dark contrasts and tones. Outstanding work!

wonderful perspective, wouldnt have thought a fallen leave shot in B&W would wow me but this does, brilliant work

Brilliant pov... brilliant b/w... Outstanding image!

Your images are outstanding. Great work in B&W. I sense gloominess but in many ways this is great expression in art.
To me this image makes me sad because of the title and looking at those empty benches. It impies what once was is no longer.
You have touched the emotions and senses which is a great compliment from the viewer.

Exceptional...as always. Love how you've focused on the forefront.

Excellent shot! love the mood...
