Great colour and framing. Just a small nit, but I would have preferred it only the man was present. I find the lady in the bicycle distracting.
Fantastic scene, although I somewhat agree with Paulo. Having two people in the image kills the feeling of solitude this scene wants to convey. A single person moving toward the light - instead of away from it - would tell a stronger story.
This is beautiful. I am ambivalent about the bike. If I may ask, what time of the year is the best time to shoot Fall colors in Japan?
I love the colors and the tunnel effect. Both shots are very fine to me, I'm not bothered by the woman on the bicycle. The woman with the dog is also fine but I wonder how it would look if she was further away from the photographer.
I've also got one with no-one in the tunnel. But I think a bit of traffic or other foreground elements adds to the scene - without it, it's just an empty tunnel of trees.What do you think?
