Mystic Morning by Karen Strout
This photograph of an icon in Cornish, New Hampshire, captures the beauty of fog and subtle autumn color. There is a fine art quality to the photograph that drew praise from our panel.

this contest is a joke…
A couple of good ones but a couple of jokes. The covered bridge one is nice and all but fog says fall? Lets take a picture of hay or a leave? That’s called easy.
Bokeh????
I agree with the “Bokeh”????
Brian, “Hell hath no furry like a woman scorned”. Did you submit a snapshot and it wasn’t chosen?
Whats says “Fall” to you, may not be “fall” to others.
EASY is commenting from the comfort of your keyboard without anyone critiquing what you have not posted, which is nothing.
Have a slice of “humble pie” and find another place to practice your “troll” skills.
Thank you Mirsad! I agree! Brian if you don’t have anything nice to say, keep it to yourself. Love the picks for the 5 finalists. The bridge is my favorite!
I guess “penny lane” was my favorite. It screamed FALL. The covered Bridge was good, but lacks something. The marsh shot was artsy but….and the leaf and Bale, nice shots but ….
Penny Lane. It says “fall”.
These finalists are nice,but where are the bright colors of a sunny day in October? This is what I’ve come to love about the Yankee Photo Contests over the years.Just sayin’!
Penny Lane says it all. It is very beautiful and makes me ooh and awe.
Penny Lane is what I think of when I think Fall. A blaze of color and long shadows.
Penny Lane is my pick ,it is the exact Fall Image ,late fall about to enter Winter.love it
Penny Lane does it for me. Great light and color.
(What’s with the uncalled-for negativity in some of the earlier comments??)
The photos that speak to me most are Mystic morning, Penny Lane and Ripples, but all
of them are good and artfully capture an aspect of late fall!
I love them all but Greg Stone is my fav- congratulations
I like hay bales & ripple. They all deserve merit. Keep the negative comments out- there’s no
place for them here.
Penny Lane … I can feel myself walking the path.
I liked Penny Lane. It would make for a nice jigsaw puzzle.
PENNY LANE MAKES ME WANT TO GO FOR A NICE WALK ON AN AUTUMN AFTERNOON. IT’S THE WINNER FOR ME. IT HAS BEAUTIFUL COLOR AND THE PATH TAKES YOU INTO THE PHOTO.
THE COVERED BRIDGE ? IT IS AN ANDREW WYETH PAINTING.COLD,MONOCHROMATIC AND THE BRIDGE IS IN THE CENTER OF THE PHOTO. ALL COMPOSITIONS DON’T HAVE TO FOLLOW THE RULES OF THIRDS ,BUT THIS LOOKS UNCOMFORTABLE. MAYBE A WINNER FOR A WINTER SHOT.
