Theme 1: Autumn-Comparisons

Taking an image from Charles Binns a well known and extremely talented and respected photographer and looking to understand his work and create my own interpretation was no mean feat, but here's the result:

I loved the way in Binns shot that the sunlight was shining through the leaves enhancing the Autumn colours.  Fortunately for me the day I headed to Calke Abbey was beautiful, crisp but sunny enabling me to get a similar effect. If I was to shoot this again I don't feel I would change anything, I like the fact that my sho is a little more focused on a smaller collection of leaves, however Binns shot does give some height perspective where mine doesn't but overall I am very pleased with the outcome of this shot.
