In this photograph there is a collection of leaves which are of various different autumn colours. The colours consist of yellows, oranges, reds and greens. The leaves fill the whole frame and it appears that they are all stacked in a pile so that you cannot see the ground beneath them. There are more yellows and oranges than there are reds. Because of this, you are drawn more towards the red which appears to have more elements of pinks. The variety of different colours demonstrate autumn for those are the ones associated with autumn.

The photograph I took above is of several leaves on the ground. The leaves are mainly yellow with the exception of oranges and reds. The leaves do not fill the whole frame and therefore you can see the ground beneath them. The leaves are also spread throughout the frame which helps you to identify the individual shapes and colours of the leaves.

The first photograph has used the full frame and is filled with leaves so that you cannot see the grind where as in the latter photograph you can see the ground. In the first photograph, there is also many colours which are associated with autumn such as reds, yellows and greens. However, in the latter photo there is only a small variety of different colour leaves, mainly yellow with the exception of a few oranges. The more effective photo of the two is the first because I feel that it shows autumn more than the second because of the fuller frame but also the greater variety of the different colours.
