September Sunset in the Orchard by Lindsey Ocker
The beautiful composition and burst of soft sunlight combined with the rich reds of the apples really resonate with the season, making this image one of our favorites.
Moose in Aroostook County by Lori Prosser
Wildlife is not an easy subject. It’s all about timing and we love how this moose was caught in a sea of autumnal grasses framed by fall foliage.
Fern Foliage by Mike Fillyaw
We appreciate an eye toward the details of autumn and the colors and textures that the season brings. The graphic composition of the delicate fern leaves really caught our attention.
Autumn on the Marsh by Charlene Salvaggio
The subtle autumn hues in the grassy marsh and the turn of the water’s path that lead your eye into the frame add a fine art painterly quality to this image.
Still Morning on the Pond by Eyal Oren
The interesting angles and composition in this landscape work well. We liked the reflections of a colorful moody sky, autumn trees and a network of connected docks in the still water.
