A great thing that you did that, Andre!
Now, I hope the magazines have some good people for judhing the images - I would advice them that too! ;-)
It is surely a "big" one. They will surely get interested and ask you for more. Just wait.

Hi Nick,
I put this one along with a few other "Fall" images into a Fall 2009 contest in one of the outdoor photography magazines.

I must remember that old saying, Andre! Quite a humorous way to spot it with a few words. In Greek we would say "to burn the fresh along with the dried grass". ;-)
Anyway, I received it now and I thanks you very much for it! It is a very good one!

Thanks again Ray.
Glad you like it.
It's easy why a few people have mistaken this for a seaside shot. It is actually Lake Ontario. Just 1/2 hour walking distance from my house.

Thanks Nick,
I just re-sent the large file.
I have a similar problem with my filter system. Sometimes the auto spam detectors do like the old saying.... "be careful not to throw out the baby with the bath water"

What a lovely array of Autumnal colours right down on the shoreline my friend. A beautiful combination of sea and landscape with great movement in the waves and good detailing throughout.
Good to see you again and I will drop by again after a while. I am still many months away from posting though. Hope you are all well, take care. Best wishes.....Ray

Hi Andre!
Well, much of what you say is completely true, like for example to invite the viewer to explore the presented scene as he/she likes. I always found that very... democratic, free, without any "pressure", as you say, to focus on something that "the photographer has already thought out for the viewer". Any here is one of the reasons for which I have that special liking for going hyperfocal. ;-)
I can quite see what you mean with the description about the place and what was going on, and still is going on there. I guess you are going to find many many more circumstances and conditions in which you haven't been before in such a place, be it for the light or for anything else - including that special "strike of the own strings" that makes us all stand astound in front of some given scene.
I still didn't get you email... :-( Could you perhaps use "Beach In Colour - large" as subject? The thing is, I get so much junkemail that it is hard to examine each email individually... My email address is: karagiaouroglou@bluewin.ch
It should work this way.
Cheers and thanks a lot!
Nick

Thanks Nick,
I think this sort of image does look best with this kind of DOF too. I know you prefer this kind of landscape. There is no particular pressure to view any one part of the image this way. So, the viewer is invited to explore the whole image.
To answer your question about spontanaity, it is an area that I have taken quite a few images of in the past. But, never really in the fall. I remember taking my youngest son to this spot one day when I was helping him take some shots for his high school photography class. I always liked that outcropping of clay in the distance.
My wife and I went for a walk here the day I took this shot along with a few others in the same area.
BTW I did email you this shot in a larger format. Did you get it?

Thanks for the visit and comment Riny,
I probably used to know the answer to your question about the leaves back in grade school. But that was many, many years ago.
So, I Googled it. Here is the answer.
The bright reds and purples we see in leaves are made mostly in the fall. In some trees, like maples, glucose is trapped in the leaves after photosynthesis stops.

Hiw great that you posted that, Andre! A composition that allows us all to see the very own way that coast extends to the depth, and its distinct own morphology. The arriving wave and its nice details plays a little bit of that role of a rhythm coordinator in a place which seems to have all the time of the world for going though its own phases. There is no hurrying here, nit in the subject anf not in the exposure - this is what I think of it. I think of the photographer, Andre, slowing down and taking his adjustments, not overlooking anything and not efaggerating anything at all. In other words, I see the balance.
For such images, I think they wouldn't really "fail" if somebody would go for a more limited DoF, but the clarity of details from the very near down to the far is a very special dedication to the place. So I perceive ot, that is. Especially when the light seems to demand such a study of foliage, textures and depth under such colors. Even that tiny clipping that I (think to see) here enhances the very character of the place.
Andre, was that more a spontaneous composition, or did you search a lot for the right frame?
Nick

Hi Francois,
Thanks for the visit and comment. I should have explained. It is a fresh water lake. (Lake Ontario) Big enough to be a sea, but one of the fresh water lakes in the "Great Lakes" system. We live within walking distance, so I am very lucky.

Thanks Dave,
That was quick!! You must have commented on the image before I got a chance to see it myself.
This was taken last month. Unfortunately, the fall colours are gone now.

Very nicely composed capture of the shoreline, Andre! Great colour in there, too.
