Beyond the little recreational area at Blakeney, there are just a few houses, and I looked around a bit.
I had noticed this bent tree in passing on several occasions, but this time, I stopped for a photo.
I moved a little closer ↓ to separate the tree from the framing trees, but that loses the top of those trees. Sigh: outdoor photography is what it is, and one must accept its limitations.
A little farther along, I spotted a stand of colourful trees. The light was glary, and they look too saturated for my taste, but I include it, so you can seen how much colour there is at the moment.
I took another photo ↓ of two colourful trees beyond a fence.
Then I found another fence and composition a little farther along the road. I like this ↓ composition a little more. I think centering the tree beyond that little gate or gap was a good idea, and the two trees on the edges provide a bit of a frame.

That tree has a bit of a lean...and a split crown...but it is still going for it!
While I have not commented on the previous autumnal posts, all have been read and enjoyed, AC. The bent tree is actually my favorite in the serious. The colors have not yet peaked in our area, but with this week’s warm temps and expected weekend rain that may change by next week.
Such gorgeous hues.
Beautiful trees with great fall colors.
The first one I think is the best composition, with the curving road carrying the eye up and then around the trees. Nice.
Agree with Boud, the first one is my favorite.
I like the 1st shot best too.
I would choose the first one. There is something magical about the road curving away in that one.
My favourite is the first photo but I love all of these.
I like the first photo best, as is with wires & signs.
The colorful stands of trees are lovely also.
I love the first photo, and the house adds to it I think. Beautiful fall colors....I am so glad the season is finally here!
It looks like color is peaking there -- it's really gorgeous! And that tree is fascinating!
All look nice. The first shot is most outstanding
Well done. I really like the last photo.
That nice stand of trees is a good photo. Great manifestation of what fall looks like there.
Beauties. Eventually we're all just bent trees, aren't we?
I agree with Boud.
Yes one certainly does and you have done admirably. I like saturation in photos. Of your two bent-tree pics I cannot really decide but if I have to, I guess I would choose the second one. Then I would edit to make the subject tree pop even more. I like the blue roof. xoxo
I'll vote for either of the bent tree, which has a great balance of the road curving away the other direction. The only one I don't absolutely love is the straight line of trees over the grass. The rest...oh yes yes yes!
The first tree picture. Great framing.
The first photo is my favorite of the two. And I'd keep the wires & signs if the photo was printed.
Have a lovely weekend.
I'm with the commenters who chose the first photo. I like the tree frame on the top and agree that the house, etc, should be there. Since the road is a man-made item, others are appropriate.
Quit dismissing the bright blue sky. We should enjoy it while we can. But I agree that the bright sky and sun drains the colour subtlety from the trees.
That lean in the tree is part of its appeal.
