Default A Gentlemans Blend of Fall

When i see scenes of bright colorful flowers the thoughts of a womans bright smile, or colorful eyes come to mind. But this scene, for me at least, somehow has a more masculine feel to it. I'd like to know how you feel about it.

Hi there - this is a well composed image ... the broad yellowish leaves on the buttom add strong color contrast to the plant that has already changed colors .. I can interpret the "masculine" feel there ..

I agree with what Hayward mentioned. It really has a masculine feel to it. Nicely done.

Your picture has the feel of a gentlemans study, burnt umber leather captains chair, the aroma of pipe tobacco and an old tweed overcoat hanging behind the door
