October 2002 - The Brilliant Colors of Autumn
Photograph by Sarah S. Blodgett
The way the leaves fall on the ground can make a superb composition, as if an artist has placed them in a harmonious relationship. Of course, an artist has been at work—the photographer. For it is just this section of the leaves lying on the grass that has been framed in the viewfinder. Look at the way the colors are carefully chosen—one strong red accent, nearby an orange, then yellows and browns discretely placed, and hints of green here and there—all these against a rich dark background. It is nature’s elegant design, but it took a skillful photographer to discover it. ‹ back to October 2002
