Congratulations to huckbucket winner with photo “Fall Fun”

“With so many great photographs, this was a very tough decision. In the end, this image exudes the feelings of Autumn in my opinion. Great colors across the whole image along with the playfulness in the eyes of the child represent the fun of the season. I really love the flow of her hair throughout the image as it draws the viewer’s eye in and around the leaves. The stark contrast in her eyes in the lower right of the frame keeps the entire image grounded.” – Ariston

Congratulations to the following Honorable Mentions:

billium with photo “Ripple Effect”

“Definitely one of my top picks. I love that I feel drawn into the scene due to the sharp focus and details. The orange and green in the trees and the serenity of the flowing water make this Autumn cabin image incredibly peaceful.” – Ariston

ducilla with photo “Untitled”

“A very beautiful scene heralding the change of the seasons. Great play between light and shadows along with the reflection in the water and intensity of the blue sky. An overall striking image of Autumn.” – Ariston

Ladijane with photo “On fire with the color of Autumn”

“The orange and yellow colors are breathtaking in this photograph. I really like the transition from dark to light moving from the bottom to the top of the frame as well as the four trees standing strong. Overall beautiful colors and a great image.” – Ariston

Artfotos with photo “The Autumn Leaf”

“Sometimes simplicity is all you need. A single iconic leaf to represent the season was enough to earn this image an honorable mention. Great use of depth of field to draw attention and the orange contrasted against the blue of the sky is visually striking.” – Ariston

campin123 with photo “Autumn Glory”

“Beautiful greens, oranges, and reds in the trees to bring in the Autumn feelings. The long exposure makes the water a silken flow and appears very peaceful. Good sharpness in the rest of the image, so overall a very technically excellent photo.” – Ariston

Ariston has been a professional photography since 2004, specializing in glamour and fine art photography.

Thank you all the colorful and bright images! Such a fun gallery to go through.
