Last Days I was thinking about my next post. Remain 4 days before the Winter coming in my zones, so I decided to share my last pictures with an autumn-centrally subject. But I said my self, why don't create a simple contest?

These days I will share some shots, as I said, the last of the autumn. So, I'll share them under the tag #autumnends. I invite you to do the same, following some simple rules.

1. Create a post with your autumn-centrally subject photo and share it under the tag #autumnends

2. In the title, mention Autumn Ends (as I did in my post)

3. The first photo of the article will be the valid photo for the contest.

4. The contest started 4 days ago and will finish with my last post, in 3 days. Every day I will publish a post with one or more images under the tag #autumnends, repeating the rules.

- I will choose some images - at the moment set at 10 - and the authors will be the finalists. I'll publish a post with all them and I will choose a single winner to which I'll award the prize.

3 STEEM for the winner and 1 DERANGED.COIN each finalist.

All clear? Good. If you have any questions, write in the comment section. Now, you can view my post and consider it as an example.

So, another time Hello!

This is an entry for the #autumnends contest by Hive account@davidesimoncini, a contest reserved to the autumn-centrally subject's photos in the last days of the autumn.

I took this shot last weeks. I was going to the Moneta Castle Ruins, from Carrara (Tuscany, Italy). In the middle of the path there were many leaves that descent from the tree branches. I decided to photograph one of them because I thought it was a scenographic view.

I applied some adjustment levels; a vignetting, a tending-magenta cover for the shadows and a tending-red cover for the lights. I also increased the brighter parts of the picture and obtained the final result.

In the second, I will share the same photo with a different focus zone. In the first one, I centered the focus zone on the leaf in the foreground, in the second on the trees in the background. I liked them, so distributed.

In the last, I used the first shot to create a monochrome image with a green-tone background. In this picture, high contrasts and few middle tones.

I hope you enjoy this post.
