Story:
Every year at the end of summer, leaves start to cover the garden like a brown reddish carpet. This colorful carpet looks very nice, however with the morning dew, sticking to your shoes, bringing them inside the house.
Depending on the zone of the garden you will have different shapes and colors of leaves.
This week, still in autumn, saw many leaves at the bottom of the pool, and decided to photograph them. The idea was to do a different version of the selfie image.
After a few shots, reviewing the images, the leaves looked washed brown and no aesthetic composition could be made. However when I moved a floating devise, that was interfering the area of view, many leaves appeared floating. The intense red and brown autumn colors contrasted over dark blue color of the pool. After the digital development, I found that there was a lot of dust floating, which I decided to maintain.
