Well, some of you know I was out and about looking for hay and other things for a fall set. This is what I've come up with so far. What do you think? I wasn't real careful on cloning in extra leaves because I plan on just buying more to fill the area for real. I need to lower the tall scare crow a bit to make cropping to landscape a bit easier. When I shoot this "for real" the background will be farther behind the hay so it will be more out of focus than it is here. What else? There are about 4 more examples of the same setup here: http://www.pbase.com/jimpoor/my_dogsThanks in advance, Jim

Jim, you are working hard to get the fall thing underway. I would suggest you look at still life paintings and see how groupings work well. By lining items in a row it looks more like a fence. Let some of the pieces overlap with one another. Just make sure the dog is the dominate and the real focus. There are rules in design. Learn some and then learn where you can break them. Designing in odd numbers usually works best. Try to work for the golden triangle. There are a bunch of suggestions but for now you might experiment with the set up alone and then know that works. Your color use is nice. Makes me want to get out the leaves but I am not really ready to give up summer yet!

Thanks everyone! And thanks so much for the rework Peggysue! I actually prefer "reposting" reworked images as a way to critique and provide suggestions.
"A sketch is worth a thousand words" as they say in England (& maybe in the USA?). I like Peggy Sue's re-work, i must confess.
Leaves are already beginning to brown on some tree's over here, its done nothing but rain all Summer in the UK, Autumn/Fall is all but here. How was Summer in the US?

Soon, in the northern part of the midwest, the leaves will be changing. The natural pile of leaves should be fun to play in. Fine to photograph as long as it does not rain. I do keep a bunch of those silk things but the colors really are bright! Thank goodness for photoshop!
Jim, hope your weekend went well with the fall background. I went to our large flea market this weekend to look for props. There was a large amount of fall decorations for people but nothing I had to have.
