Went to the Alfred Nicholas Gardens in the Dandenong Ranges to try to get some shots of a few wooden bridges surrounded by maple and gingko trees in autumn colours. Unfortunately, there has been a bit of maintenance work going on there, leading to temporary fencing spoiling the views of the bridges and obstructing access to some of my planned shooting locations. I did manage to get a shot of the boathouse, though.
As for the bridges, I guess they'll have to wait until next year or the year after - just hope the area doesn't get hit by bushfires again before then.
Sony A7r3 with 24-70GM, 41mm, 1/15s at f/9.

Lovely! Have you considered cropping off the right 40% of the image? Not much of interest there.

It sets the scene, Peter. If you crop as you suggest, the shot is reduced to a photograph of a shed.

Not really.
The surroundings are needed to set the scene, while the photo as a whole needs the asymmetry.
Crop it to a square and it would just be a bad property catalogue photo.

Wonderful setting.
