Description
Stlll waiting for the autumn colours to really come through here in Cornwall. Although this week has been a little cooler. Im hopeful for next week.In a hopeful attempt to get this shot in the APN galleries unfortunately it was not felt to be good enough...
Sorry but this shot has been declined. It just doesn't have enough "wow factor". I'm not sure exactly why it doesn't wow me because it actually has great lighting and a good composition. I think maybe its because we see a lot of shots of trees in a row like this and there just isn't anything unique about this one to differentiate it from the rest and maybe also because row trees feel too orderly an unnatural. You do have a pretty good photo but the judges felt that it could use something more. I wish I could be more descriptive and helpful in this critique but its a tough one because it is technically pretty good and there isn't anything really obvious like lack of focus or exposure problems.

Good gracious - I don't think I will ever understand the thinking behind that particular group, and no longer ever submit to it!
To me this is really lovely, and at first I thought it was taken in the Avenue leading up to Kingston Lacey and Badbury Rings in Dorset. I can sense the atmosphere, and the colours and the mist in the distance just add to it.

I gave up with groups. They're full of big headed administrators massaging their egos.
Not enough 'wow' factor translates to 'you haven't pumped the saturation up to make it look like it's Africa' like the majority of the work on here.
