Autumn Approach

Posted by AG (London, United Kingdom) on 31 August 2006 in Art & Design.

Still a few weeks to go before the First Day of Autumn in the northern hemisphere on 23 September but this charming little bronze statue has already seen five of those seasons so will not mind my jumping the gun.

The work is entitled ‘Autumn’ and is by Kate Dixon, commissioned in 2001.

“Autumn is a second spring where every leaf is a flower”
- Albert Camus, 1913-1960

* Lovely shot.[reply]Frank @ 2006-08-31 09:16:17

* Beautifully done, ag!! The tones are perfect.
I really enjoyed the quote, as well. How true it is.[reply]micki @ 2006-08-31 09:40:35

* lovely tones as others have commented - fits in well with the recent waether! i like your almost paparazzi approach to this statue; as if you're intruding on a private moment. [reply]david @ 2006-08-31 09:56:05

* The DOF and composition is great!
It looks almost like you are hiding in a bush taking photos of a child playing. Hiding just not to disturb the childs play.[reply]Erik - HedinMedia @ 2006-08-31 10:09:34

* So you have been wondering and sneaking around in the elf world, imagining colors and making them real. Must have been difficult to choose a "principal pic". I like the green version of this one too.[reply]Hildegarde @ 2006-08-31 12:35:49

* Really beautiful photos os this fine art. I like photographing sculpture. The form is already perfected, and they don't mind posing.[reply]Dave @ 2006-08-31 13:52:45

* This is a great capture. I love the way you framed it. Super.[reply]J. Rivera @ 2006-08-31 14:52:52

* Beautiful shade of greenish grey as my monitor displays it. I love the series of photos from your link.[reply]Sherri @ 2006-08-31 15:34:52

* Nice highlighting on the statue.[reply]TC @ 2006-08-31 18:37:49

* AG, this is stunning. Excellent frame of reference to create this image. Wonderful rendition of color. As others have said, it looks like you happened upon this figure and quietly captured the moment. Very well done.[reply]Jeff @ 2006-08-31 19:00:52

* wonder photo!
great tones[reply]Fabrizio @ 2006-08-31 22:33:45

* Love the tonings with just a dash of colour. A perfectly suited composition for the panoramic format. It all feels just right![reply]fotojo @ 2006-08-31 23:18:02

* Impressive picture, I like the DoF very much, and the processing, esp. the vignetting, is wonderful. [reply]Uwe @ 2006-09-01 12:20:26

* Your skills never ceases to amaze me! Just amazing.[reply]Michael @ 2006-09-01 23:05:06

* Stunning! Love the depth in this picture so much man![reply]Kris @ 2006-09-02 00:18:53

* I think it's beautiful. And your use of sepia adds to the beauty.[reply]christine @ 2006-09-02 17:27:17

* Beautiful! You picked the perfect tone for this shot, and what gorgeous light you captured.[reply]Judith Polakoff @ 2006-09-03 05:31:27

* Thanks, Everyone. But, I think I owe it all to the sculptress, really. [reply]AG @ 2006-09-06 12:22:58
